This study examined the extent to which happiness and anxiety in children and adolescents with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) are related to, and predicted by, individual difference variables in four domains: Demographic, Illness-Related, Social, and Psychological. It was hypothesized that participants who were older, had been diagnosed with JRA for longer periods of time, displayed lower levels of functional disability, endorsed higher levels of peer and family support, and engaged in "approach" coping strategies would demonstrate greater happiness and lower anxiety.

520 $a This study examined the extent to which happiness and anxiety in children and adolescents with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) are related to, and predicted by, individual difference variables in four domains: Demographic, Illness-Related, Social, and Psychological. It was hypothesized that participants who were older, had been diagnosed with JRA for longer periods of time, displayed lower levels of functional disability, endorsed higher levels of peer and family support, and engaged in "approach" coping strategies would demonstrate greater happiness and lower anxiety.
520 $a Data were collected in the form of questionnaires from 42 parent-child dyads residing in 10 different states. The youths were between 8 and 17 years of age. Results were obtained using both correlational and regression analyses. Inter-rater correlations found strong agreement between the parent and child measures of anxiety. Children's' reports of family support were related to parents' reports of familial expressiveness and control, and negatively related to familial conflict. Children's endorsements of approach coping strategies were positively correlated with peer support, and with parents' reports of familial expressiveness, independence, activity, and involvement in intellectual or cultural activities. Happiness was significantly correlated with approach coping, peer support and family support. Anxiety was significantly correlated with degree of disability, and negatively correlated with family support and peer support. Regression analyses suggested that happiness was predicted by gender, family support and peer support. Anxiety was predicted by avoidance coping, and negatively predicted by family support and peer support.
520 $a The results of this study suggest that the use of approach coping strategies, such as positive reappraisal and problem solving, generally results in better psychological adaptation to JRA. Further, higher levels of support from family and friends may strongly impact JRA youths' self-reported happiness, whereas lower levels of support may be highly related to anxiety. Further, girls in the study were found to be happier than boys. Possible implications and extensions of these findings are discussed.
