Cover Story: This study examines the associations between anxious withdrawal and six types of sleep difficulties during early adolescence, and whether these associations differ for those with high versus low peer exclusion and victimization. The participants were 395 adolescents who completed peer nominations of anxious withdrawal, exclusion, and victimization at Time 1 (T1). Their mothers completed reports of sleep difficulties at T1 and Time 2. Path analyses revealed unique associations between anxious withdrawal and several types of sleep difficulties at T1. The analyses also revealed a significant interaction effect in that anxious withdrawal was prospectively associated with trouble sleeping only for those adolescents who were highly excluded/victimized. These findings are the first to link anxious withdrawal to a physical health outcome in adolescents. View this paper
