          Abstract

          O presente artigo objetiva avaliar a ansiedade-traço e a ansiedade-estado de estudantes universitários do ciclo básico da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, verificando diferenças entre três grandes áreas de conhecimento, biomédica, humanística e tecnológica, tendo em vista que a entrada na universidade pode se configurar como uma situação ameaçadora que parece sofrer influência das diferentes características de cada uma dessas áreas. Participaram do estudo 158 estudantes, sendo 71 mulheres e 87 homens, com idade média de 20,04 ± 3,37 anos, respondendo uma ficha de identificação e o Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado (IDATE). Resultados demonstram que as médias de ansiedade-traço e ansiedade-estado desses estudantes encontram-se dentro do esperado para essa população, embora a área biomédica seja percebida como a mais ansiogênica, uma vez que apresenta uma densa grade curricular com intensas demandas acadêmicas, o que parece elevar os escores dos estudantes dessa área, em especial os dos homens.

          The purpose of this study is to evaluate trait anxiety and state anxiety in first year students from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, verifying differences between three great areas of knowledge - Biomedical, Humanistic and Technological. The entrance to a University can be perceived as a threatening situation that seems to suffer influence from the different characteristics of each of these areas. 158 students, 71 females and 87 males aged 20.04 ± 3,37 years, answered an Identification Form and the State and Trait of Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The means of trait anxiety and state anxiety observed in these students were as expected for this population although the Biomedical area is perceived as the most anxiogenic for having a dense curriculum with intense academic demands, what seems to increase the scores of the students of this area, especially of the men.

          Lifetime prevalence of specific psychiatric disorders in three sites.

          Lifetime rates are presented for 15 DSM-III psychiatric diagnoses evaluated in three large household samples on the basis of lay interviewers' use of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. The most common diagnoses were alcohol abuse and dependence, phobia, major depressive episode, and drug abuse and dependence. Disorders that most clearly predominated in men were antisocial personality and alcohol abuse and dependence. Disorders that most clearly predominated in women were depressive episodes and phobias. The age group with highest rates for most disorders was found to be young adults (aged 25 to 44 years). Correlates with race, education, and urbanization are presented.

            The age of anxiety? Birth cohort change in anxiety and neuroticism, 1952-1993.

            Two meta-analyses find that Americans have shifted toward substantially higher levels of anxiety and neuroticism during recent decades. Both college student (adult) and child samples increased almost a full standard deviation in anxiety between 1952 and 1993 (explaining about 20% of the variance in the trait). The average American child in the 1980s reported more anxiety than child psychiatric patients in the 1950s. Correlations with social indices (e.g., divorce rates, crime rates) suggest that decreases in social connectedness and increases in environmental dangers may be responsible for the rise in anxiety. Economic factors, however, seem to play little role. Birth cohort, as a proxy for broad social trends, may be an important influence on personality development, especially during childhood.
