Abstract
We investigated to what extent pathological worry is affected by the variations of mood, self-esteem and demographic variables. The study included total 323 university students, 163 males and 160 females. In this study, we used a dependent variable, the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), to determine the psychological factors affecting the pathological worry, , the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) for independent measurement of the variables. Also we discussed the impact of demographic characteristics on worry. The pathological levels of anxiety were determined to increase due to negative affectiveness and low self-esteem.
