许多研究表明，焦虑儿童比对照组经历更多的负面生活事件。然而，研究尚未解决这种差异可能是由于与非焦虑症的共病的可能性。此外，精神病理学的存在也可能导致儿童的行为方式，增加消极生活事件的频率，减少积极生活事件的频率。母亲和儿童报告版本的生活事件问卷（CASE）评估的生活事件在过去12个月的焦虑障碍儿童（n = 198）和对照组（n = 88）。母亲的报告表明，焦虑的孩子经历了更多的负面和更少的积极的行为依赖事件比控制儿童。儿童报告显示了类似的模式，但显着差异只存在于焦虑和控制组之间的负面行为依赖事件的数量。结果表明，焦虑控制的差异仍然与非焦虑障碍的合并症无关。然而，负性生活事件发生率最高的是患有共病的儿童。皇冠版权所有（C）2008由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Many studies have reported that anxious children experience more negative life events than controls. However, studies have not yet addressed the possibility that this difference may be due to comorbidity with non-anxiety disorders. Furthermore, presence of psychopathology may also lead children to act in ways that increases frequency of negative life events and decreases the frequency of positive life events. Mother and child-report versions of a questionnaire measure of life events (CASE) assessed life events in the past 12 months in anxiety-disordered children (n = 198), and controls (n = 88). Mother reports indicated that anxious children experienced more negative and fewer positive behavior-dependent events than control children. Child reports showed a similar pattern, however significant differences were only present between anxious and control groups on the number of negative behavior-dependent events. Results indicated that anxious-control differences remain irrespective of comorbidity with non-anxiety disorders. However, the highest rates of negative life events were present in children with a comorbid disorder. Crown Copyright (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
