Self-Efficacy As a Target for Neuroscience Research on Moderators of Treatment Outcomes in Pediatric Anxiety.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Despite the advances in the field of neuroscience, many questions remain regarding the mechanisms of anxiety, as well as moderators of treatment outcome. Long-term adverse outcomes for anxious youth may relate to pathophysiologically based information processing patterns and self-referential beliefs, such as self-efficacy. In fact, there are no studies highlighting the relationship between self-efficacy and neurocircuitry in youth. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between self-efficacy, brain morphometry, and youth anxiety. Methods: Parent, child, and clinician ratings of anxiety symptoms and child-reported self-efficacy were analyzed in a sample of 8- to 17-year-old youth (n = 51). Measures were collected from all you
