Anxiety symptomatology in Mexican-American adolescents

Article Abstract:

Mexican-Americans tend to experience high levels of anxiety. A study involving a tri-ethnic sample of 2528 junior and senior high school students reveals that the high levels of anxiety among Mexican-American adolescents can be attributed to factors such as linguistic fluency, mother's education and household size. Being born outside the US and the absence of a father from home also contributes to the anxiety of Mexican-American adolescents.

Exposure to community violence and social support as predictors of anxiety and social and emotional behavior among African American children

Article Abstract:

Social support from peers, parents and teachers lowers trait anxiety and can predict behavior of African American children who are exposed to violence. A positive correlation between trait anxiety and exposure to violence, and a negative correlation between social support and trait anxiety exists. However, social support from various groups affects the behavior of children in high and lower violence areas in different ways.
