Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of first-degree relatives' anxious traits on the anxious emotion in children with Tic disorders ( TD) . Methods A total of 31 children with TD and 32 normal chil-dren were assessed by The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders ( SCARED) ,and their first-degree relatives were assessed by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory ( STAI) . The differences of first-degree rela-tives' personality traits between two groups were compared,and the effects of these personality traits on chil-dren's anxious emotion were further analyzed. Results Compared with the control group(36. 66±8. 24),the first-degree relatives of children with TD had higher scores in trait anxiety (40. 10±8. 24,P<0. 05),but there was no significant difference in state anxiety between TD group and control group((35. 00±9. 09) vs (40. 90 ±10. 21),P>0. 05). The school phobia in children with TD was positively correlated with the education lev-els of their mothers(r=0. 407,P<0. 05). Conclusion The first-degree relatives of children with TD are more anxious emotion than normal children. Children with TD are more likely to have school phobia if their mothers have better education.
