      early adolescence.

AB  - Identifying early risk factors for the development of social anxiety symptoms has 
      important translational implications. Accurately identifying which children are 
      at the highest risk is of critical importance, especially if we can identify risk 
      early in development. We examined continued risk for social anxiety symptoms at 
      the transition to adolescence in a community sample of children (n = 112) that 
      had been observed for high fearfulness at age 2 and tracked for social anxiety 
      symptoms from preschool through age 6. In our previous studies, we found that a 
      pattern of dysregulated fear (DF), characterized by high fear in low threat 
      contexts, predicted social anxiety symptoms at ages 3, 4, 5, and 6 years across 
      two samples. In the current study, we re-evaluated these children at 11-13 years 
      of age by using parent and child reports of social anxiety symptoms, parental 
      monitoring, and peer relationship quality. The scores for DF uniquely predicted 
      adolescents' social anxiety symptoms beyond the prediction that was made by more 
      proximal measures of behavioral (e.g., kindergarten social withdrawal) and 
      concurrent environmental risk factors (e.g., parental monitoring, peer 
      relationships). Implications for early detection, prevention, and intervention 
      are discussed.
