摘要

The financial and social burdens of anxiety disorders underscore the importance of adopting a preventative approach toward treatment. Identifying specific factors that prevent vulnerable individuals from developing anxiety disorders facilitates the understanding of protective mechanisms that reduce one's likelihood of developing such disorders. The following study offers an exploratory investigation of factors that may may be associated with resilience in individuals at risk for developing anxiety disorders. The "at risk" sample consists of respondents from the National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) who endorsed a positive parental history of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The NCS is a population-based psychiatric epidemiological survey that used DSM-III-R criteria for diagnosis. This study explores the role of birth order (presence of older siblings), perceived control, and religiosity/spirituality relative to the expression of anxiety disorders among an "at risk" population. Data was analyzed using a logistic regression analysis to isolate the degree to which the independent variables (birth order, perceived control, and religiosity/spirituality) serve as protective factors against the formation of anxiety disorders in a vulnerable population. Results indicated that respondents' level of perceived control significantly predicted the absence of anxiety disorders. Neither the presence of older siblings nor religiosity/spirituality measures significantly predicted the absence of anxiety disorders among an "at risk" population. Findings, study limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
