Introduction: Separation Anxiety (SA) is a particular type of anxiety, due to an imaginary or an actual separation from an attachment igüre.SA might become manifest both in behavior and emotional responses and diminishes with adjustment (1,2). Although SA itself is a conditional and temporary type of anxiety, it is not clear whether SA is a premise of other anxiety types over time. It was aimed to assess the potential relationship between SA and adult type anxiety. Material and Methods: 21 subjects were males with a mean age of 23 (SD=7.3) years and 23 were females whose mean age was 22 (SD=6.9) years, with the overall mean age of the 44‐subject sample being 22 (SD=6.6) year. Subjects were randomly asked to participate in the study. Separation Anxiety Symptom Inventory (SASI) is a 15‐item inventory questioning childhood SA (3) and Adult Separation Anxiety Checklist (ASA) is a 27‐item self‐assessment questionnaire that assess adulthood SA (4). The State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (5) has two inventories, state (STAI‐S: how subjects feel at a particular moment)and trait (STAI‐T: how subjects generally feel). Measurement tool was 4‐ point likert scale. Results: There was significant correlation between state/trait anxiety, childhood and adult SA (Table 5). The results also showed that SA in childhood was a predicted by trait anxiety (p=0.032) in the linear regression [F (3.43) =10.08, p<0.001] and SA in the adulthood was predicted by state anxiety (p=0.009) in the linear regression [F(3.43) = 11.78, p<0.001]. Discussion: Adult SA was determined by state anxiety, whereas childhood SA was predicted by trait anxiety. This relationship may indicate that childhood anxiety progresses into generalized anxiety with development, whereas adulthood anxiety is more likely to remain state dependent. SA is also a state dependent type of anxiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
