Exploring the predictive role of personal identity in trait anxiety: network and Bayesian evidence from Chinese college students
The findings suggest that a stable and coherent sense of personal identity may protect against anxiety. Conceptually, anxiety is interpreted as arising from disruptions in self-synthesis. These results provide evidence for identity-based approaches to understanding and managing anxiety in university student populations.
