Factors for creation<\/p>\n

Poor coping skills<\/p>\n

(e.g., rigidity\/inflexible problem solving, denial, avoidance, impulsivity, extreme self-expectation, negative thoughts, affective instability, and inability to focus on problems) are associated with anxiety.<\/p>\n

Anxiety is also linked and perpetuated by the person’s own pessimistic outcome expectancy and how they cope with feedback negativity<\/p>\n

social family factors<\/p>\n

Social risk factors<\/strong> for anxiety include a history of trauma (e.g., physical, sexual or emotional abuse or assault)<\/p>\n

early life experiences and parenting factors (e.g., rejection, lack of warmth, high hostility, harsh discipline, high parental negative affect, discouragement of emotions, poor socialization, poor attachment, and child abuse and neglect),<\/p>\n
