Emotional Development and Anxiety

Handbook of Emotional Development

Abstract

Emotion processes are related to anxiety symptoms and disorders across the lifespan. This chapter uses emotional development as an explicit framework for understanding these associations, focusing mainly on child and adolescent populations. We begin by reviewing empirical studies of emotion reactivity, emotion regulation, and associated constructs as they relate to clinically relevant anxiety. These emotion processes are then reviewed from the developmental literature, highlighting how individual differences in temperament and attachment may steer some children along trajectories of emotion development that put them at risk for anxiety. Factors that contextualize or provide mechanisms of the shift from typical development to clinically relevant anxiety outcomes include gender, attention biases and information processing, parenting, and culture. Finally, we review how emotion development has currently been incorporated into anxiety treatment and prevention. We offer suggestions for further incorporation of emotional development into the study of anxiety and the development of appropriate interventions.
