Children and adolescents diagnosed with anxiety disorders use more frequently non-adaptive cognitive coping strategies, such as: self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing and other-blame. the emotion regulation strategies also influence the peers relations.
The study's objective was to evaluate the cognitive coping strategies used by children and adolescents diagnosed with anxiety disorders, and to observe how these strategies influence the peers relations.
The study aims were to identify the non-adaptive cognitive coping strategies and to identify which of them is more used by bullied or victimized children or adolescents.
Participants. Data was obtained from children aged 11 to 18 years of age, diagnosed with anxiety disorders, according to DSM IV-TR and healthy subjects comparable in age and sex.
Instruments. We used three questionnaires: Youth Self Report, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Peers Relations Questionnaire.
The children and adolescents diagnosed with anxiety disorders use more frequently non-adaptive cognitive coping strategies than the healthy children and they are more frequently bullied or victimized by their peers.
It is important to teach children and adolescents diagnosed with anxiety disorders how to use adaptive emotion regulation strategies in order to have a better social life and better academic results.
