An explorative study on metacognition in obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder.Comprehensive psychiatry, 53 5
PurposeMetacognitive beliefs and processes have been found to perpetuate anxiety and depression in youth and adults. However, the presence of metacognitive beliefs in children with autism spectrum disorder is somewhat unclear and has received limited research attention to date. The purpose of this paper is to explore metacognitive beliefs in children with autism and associations with anxiety and depression.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 23 high functioning participants (17 male and 6 female) between the ages of 8 and 12 (M=10.38) diagnosed on the autism spectrum completed the study. Participants completed the Revised Children’s Scale of Anxiety and Depression and the Metacognitions Questionnaire for Children.FindingsCorrelation analyses revealed that positive and negative metacognitive beliefs were found, as hypothesised, to be prevalent in this sample.Originality/valueDespite methodological limitations, this is one of the first research evaluations to provide evidence for metacognitive beliefs in high functioning children with autism and comorbid anxiety or low mood.
