A promising approach to anxiety intervention has emerged from cognitive studies of attention bias to threat. To investigate the utility of this intervention in WS, this study examined attention bias to happy and angry faces in individuals with WS (N = 46). Results showed a significant difference in attention bias patterns as a function of IQ and anxiety. Individuals with higher IQ or higher anxiety showed a significant bias toward angry, but not happy faces, whereas individuals with lower IQ or lower anxiety showed the opposite pattern. These results suggest that attention bias interventions to modify a threat bias may be most effectively targeted to anxious individuals with WS with relatively high IQ.

Beyond Behaviour: Is Social Anxiety Low in Williams Syndrome? / Helen F. DODD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-12 (December 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 39-12 (December 2009) . - p.1673-1681 Titre : Beyond Behaviour: Is Social Anxiety Low in Williams Syndrome? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Helen F. DODD, Auteur ; Melanie A. PORTER, Auteur ; Carolyn A. SCHNIERING, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.1673-1681 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Williams-syndrome Anxiety Threat Thoughts Social-behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) exhibit striking social behaviour that may be indicative of abnormally low social anxiety. The present research aimed to determine whether social anxiety is unusually low in WS and to replicate previous findings of increased generalised anxiety in WS using both parent and self report. Fifteen individuals with WS aged 12–28 years completed the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) and the Children’s Automatic Thoughts Scale (CATS). Their responses were compared to clinically anxious and community comparison groups matched on mental age. The findings suggest that WS is not associated with unusually low social anxiety but that generalised anxiety symptoms and physical threat thoughts are increased in WS, relative to typically developing children.

Interpretation of Ambiguous Situations: Evidence for a Dissociation Between Social and Physical Threat in Williams Syndrome / Helen F. DODD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-3 (March 2011)

PORTER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.266-274 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Interpretation bias  Cognitive bias  Williams syndrome  Anxiety  Developmental disorders Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Williams syndrome (WS) is associated with an unusual profile of anxiety, characterised by increased rates of non-social anxiety but not social anxiety (Dodd and Porter, J Ment Health Res Intellect Disabil 2(2):89–109, 2009). The present research examines whether this profile of anxiety is associated with an interpretation bias for ambiguous physical, but not social, situations. Sixteen participants with WS, aged 13–34 years, and two groups of typically developing controls matched to the WS group on chronological age (CA) and mental age (MA), participated. Consistent with the profile of anxiety reported in WS, the WS group were significantly more likely to interpret an ambiguous physical situation as threatening than both control groups. However, no between-group differences were found on the ambiguous social situations.

Longitudinal investigation of the role of temperament and stressful life events in childhood anxiety / Suzanne BROEREN in Development and Psychopathology, 26-2 (May 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 26-2 (May 2014) . - p.437-449 Titre : Longitudinal investigation of the role of temperament and stressful life events in childhood anxiety Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Suzanne BROEREN, Auteur ; Carol NEWALL, Auteur ; Helen F. DODD, Auteur ; Ruth LOCKER, Auteur ; Jennifer L. HUDSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.437-449 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study investigated the longitudinal relationships among behavioral inhibition (BI), life events, and anxiety in a sample of 102 BI children and 100 behaviorally uninhibited (BUI) children aged 3 to 4 years. Children's parents completed questionnaires on BI, stressful life events, and anxiety symptoms, and were administered a diagnostic interview three times in a 5-year period. In line with our hypotheses, negative life events, particularly negative behavior-dependent life events (i.e., life events that are related to the children's own behaviors), and the impact of negative life events were predictive of increases in subsequent anxiety symptoms, the likelihood of having an anxiety disorder, and increased number of anxiety diagnoses over the 5-year follow-up period. Experiencing more positive, behavior-independent life events decreased the risk of being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Furthermore, differences were found in life events between BI and BUI children. That is, BI children experienced fewer positive and specifically positive behavior-dependent life events, and the impact of these positive life events was also lower in BI children than in BUI children. However, BI did not interact with life events in the prediction of anxiety problems as hypothesized. Therefore, this study seems to indicate that BI and life events act as additive risk factors in the development of anxiety problems.
