DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A substantial number of children and adolescents develop internalizing disorders such as anxiety. Research and theory on the etiology and prevention of depression and anxiety has focused, in part, on individual risk factors such as fearful temperament. However, only small to moderate effects of fearful temperament on risk for behaviors in the internalizing spectrum have been found. [Delineating the developmental process from early childhood emotionality to internalizing disorders a goal of developmental psychopathology and this project. The question is which fearful children are at greatest risk? The dominant approach to defining and measuring fearful temperament focuses predominantly on how much fear is observed and then averaging across situations to identify children at risk.] An alternative to this approach, outlined in this proposal, focuses on examination of the dvsregulation of emotional behavior to identify at-risk children. Specifically, for the proposed research, dysregulation will be measured by taking into account the eliciting context of the child's behavior such that extreme fear in situations deemed to be low in threat would constitute a maladaptive (i.e., dysregulated response) and put the child at greater risk. The proposed research extends the previous literature linking fearful temperament with risk for internalizing spectrum disorders by examining two cohorts of children using observational, parent report, teacher report, child self-report, and physiological methodologies. The overarching goal is to identify a more homogeneous group of children at greater risk for internalizing behaviors compared to typically-identified fearful children.] Children with these dysregulated fear profiles will be followed from 24 months of age through the first year of school (age 6). The proposed research will address the following goals. Research Goal 1 addresses whether children with dysregulated fear profiles at 24 months of age are more likely to have emotional and behavioral adjustment problems consistent with the internalizing spectrum 3 years later, during kindergarten. [Research Goal 2 addresses the role that physiological reactivity has in identifying dysregulated fear and the association between dysregulated fear and internalizing.] Research Goal 3 addresses the stability of dysregulated fear behavior from 24 months of age to 6 years of age. As discussed throughout this proposal this is an innovative approach to characterizing fearful temperament, and it is hypothesized that dysregulation of fear will be a more efficacious approach to identifying risk for anxiety disorders. The proposed research has the potential to contribute significantly to the literature and encourage future research to evaluate the adaptive and maladaptive pairings of behavior and context and the implications this has for adjustment throughout development.

描述（由申请人提供）：大量儿童和青少年会发展出内在的疾病，例如焦虑。关于抑郁症和焦虑的病因和预防的研究和理论部分集中在个人风险因素（例如恐惧气质）上。但是，只发现恐惧气质对内在化频谱中行为风险的影响很小。 [描述从幼儿情绪到内在化疾病的发展过程是发展心理病理学和该项目的目标。问题是，哪些可怕的孩子面临最大的风险？定义和衡量恐惧气质的主要方法主要集中在观察到多少恐惧，然后在各种情况下平均以识别有风险的儿童。]在本提案中概述的这种方法的一种替代方法，重点是检查情感行为的DVSNECONTION，以识别高危儿童。具体而言，对于拟议的研究，将通过考虑孩子行为的引起的背景来衡量失调，以使人们被认为低于威胁的情况下极端恐惧会构成适应不良（即反​​应失调）并使孩子面临更大的风险。 拟议的研究扩展了以前的文献，通过使用观察性，父母报告，教师报告，儿童自我报告和生理方法来检查两个儿童，将可怕的气质与内在谱系障碍的风险联系起来。与典型的恐惧儿童相比，总体目标是确定一个更具内在行为风险的儿童。拟议的研究将解决以下目标。研究目标1解决了在24个月大时恐惧概况失调的儿童是否更有可能在3年后的幼儿园期间与内部化频谱一致的情感和行为调整问题。 [研究目标2解决了生理反应性在识别失调恐惧和失调恐惧和内在化之间关联的作用。]研究目标3解决了恐惧行为从24个月大到6岁的失调恐惧行为的稳定性。正如在本提案中所讨论的那样，这是表征恐惧气质的一种创新方法，可以假设恐惧的失调将是识别焦虑症风险的一种更有效的方法。拟议的研究有可能为文献做出重大贡献，并鼓励未来的研究评估行为和背景的适应性和适应不良的配对，以及这对整个发展的调整所产生的影响。
