Inhibited children become anxious adults

4/16/14

Koraly Pérez-Edgar's work over the years has demonstrated that extreme shyness observed in children is often a predictor of anxiety later in life. She says that the way shy children behave will evolve as they grow up, "but they can remain uncomfortable in their own skin in new social situations." Pérez-Edgar runs the University's Cognition, Affect, and Temperament Lab. She and her team of nearly 30 people work with children from 4 months old through young adulthood, using a variety of tools to aid their work in exploring anxiety. From clinical interviews and questionnaires to genetics and neuroimaging, Pérez-Edgar and company are trying to learn more about what their young subjects are experiencing, why, and how to help.
