This is one of the overarching themes of our translational research program. In several studies we showed that sensory sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty, temperament, and executive control individually and combined predict anxiety. In these studies, we also showed a female bias not only in anxiety but also in the risk factors that underlie anxiety (such as intolerance of uncertainty).
