The nature of individual differences in inhibited temperament and risk for psychiatric disease: A review and meta-analysis
2015, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :Inhibited children have increased rates of anxiety disorders (Biederman et al., 1993, 2001; Chronis-Tuscano et al., 2009; Clauss and Blackford, 2012; Essex et al., 2010; Hirshfeld-Becker, 2010; Hirshfeld et al., 1992; Schwartz et al., 1999). The increased risk is substantial; in a recent meta-analysis, we found that inhibited temperament was associated with a sevenfold increase in odds and a fourfold increase in risk for developing social anxiety disorder (Blackford and Clauss, 2013; Clauss and Blackford, 2012). Almost half of inhibited young children (43%; 107/246 children) developed social anxiety disorder by adolescence, compared to about 1 in 10 control children (see Fig. 1; 13%; 57/446).
