| Description |
More and more adolescents are seeking therapeutic interventions due to school related anxious symptomatology. From this researcher’s experience as a therapist, a teen-ager’s kind of motivations appear to be related to anxiety. This study investigates the relationship between anxiety and one’scognitive motivational meaning system. It also explores how social support is related with these two variables. The findings show that the more validation seeking an adolescent is in terms of motivation, the more anxious that individual would be. Furthermore, lower levels of parental support also predict a validation seeking motivation and higher levels of anxiety. Implications and recommendations based on these findings are discussed.
