A longitudinal study of metacognitive beliefs about worry
Year: 2011
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine influences of metacognitive beliefs about worry on frequency of worry and mood states. One hundred and eight university students were assessed twice, with a four-week interval in between. Students whose negative metacognitive beliefs about worry increased or maintained during the four-week period showed a significantly greater increase in both frequency of worry and negative mood states than those whose negative metacognitive beliefs decreased. These results indicated that changes in negative metacognitive beliefs about worry were related to several parameters of worry symptoms.
