Editing Anxiety (section)

===Social===
Social risk factors for anxiety include a history of trauma (e.g., physical, sexual or emotional abuse or assault), bullying, early life experiences and parenting factors (e.g., rejection, lack of warmth, high hostility, harsh discipline, high parental [[Negative affectivity|negative affect]], anxious childrearing, modelling of dysfunctional and drug-abusing behaviour, discouragement of emotions, poor socialization, poor attachment, and child abuse and neglect), cultural factors (e.g., stoic families/cultures, persecuted minorities including those with disabilities), and [[socioeconomic status and mental health|socioeconomics]] (e.g., uneducated, unemployed, impoverished although developed countries have higher rates of anxiety disorders than developing countries).<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12480&page=530 |chapter=Table E-4 Risk Factors for Anxiety |page=530 |veditors=O'Connell ME, Boat T, Warner KE |publisher=National Academies Press |title=Prevention of Mental Disorders, Substance Abuse, and Problem Behaviors: A Developmental Perspective |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-309-12674-8 |doi=10.17226/12480 |pmid=20662125 |vauthors=((National Research Council (Us) Institute Of Medicine (Us) Committee On The Prevention Of Mental Disorders Substance Abuse Among Children, Youth, and Young Adults)) |s2cid=142581788 |access-date=2014-04-19 |archive-date=2014-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140418234307/http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12480&page=530 |url-status=live }}</ref> 
A 2019 comprehensive systematic review of over 50 studies showed that food insecurity in the United States is strongly associated with depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Arenas DJ, Thomas A, Wang J, DeLisser HM | title = A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Depression, Anxiety, and Sleep Disorders in US Adults with Food Insecurity | journal = Journal of General Internal Medicine | volume = 34 | issue = 12 | pages = 2874–2882 | date = December 2019 | pmid = 31385212 | pmc = 6854208 | doi = 10.1007/s11606-019-05202-4 }}</ref> Food-insecure individuals had an almost 3 fold risk increase of testing positive for anxiety when compared to food-secure individuals.

====Gender socialization====
Contextual factors that are thought to contribute to anxiety include [[Socialization#Gender socialization|gender socialization]] and learning experiences. In particular, learning mastery (the degree to which people perceive their lives to be under their own control) and instrumentality, which includes such traits as self-confidence, [[self-efficacy]], independence, and competitiveness fully mediate the relation between gender and anxiety. That is, though gender differences in anxiety exist, with higher levels of anxiety in women compared to men, gender socialization and learning mastery explain these gender differences.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1080/03634520009379205 |title=Anticipatory anxiety patterns for male and female public speakers |journal=Communication Education |volume=49 |issue=2 |pages=187–195 |year=2000 | vauthors = Behnke RR, Sawyer CR |s2cid=144320186 }}</ref>
