Abstract | Mental disorders appear to be on the rise among college students and are having a significant effect on their attrition, with anxiety identified as one of the most common presenting issues. Therefore, the goal of this study was to examine the relationships between separation individuation and the early maladaptive schema of approval seeking with trait anxiety to determine their predictive utility. A sample of college students were administered Spielberger's Trait Anxiety Scale (Trait Subscale), Separation Individuation Inventory, and Young's Schema Questionnaire-Long Form 3rd Revision. The preliminary analyses identified significant differences in trait anxiety between African Americans and European Americans, resulting in separate analyses by race. Significant positive correlations were found between separation individuation and anxiety and between approval seeking schema and anxiety for African Americans and European Americans. In addition, the regression analyses produced significant models for both groups. However, a greater amount of variance in anxiety was accounted for with European Americans, and both variables were not significant predictors of anxiety for African Americans, offering implications for future research investigating differences between African Americans and European Americans in trait anxiety.
