Childhood predictors of avoidant personality disorder traits in adolescence: a seven‐wave birth cohort study
Neuroticism, low extraversion, social anxiety symptoms, passive onlooking behavior, and low self-worth predicted a higher number of AvPD traits in adolescence, as did more AvPD traits in parents. Efforts to enhance self-worth, reduce social anxiety, and promote peer interaction among onlooking children may reduce the development of AvPD traits in adolescence.
