Abstract
This article reports on the findings of a study that investigated personality correlates of depression and anxiety among Spanish children. A total of 423 adolescents (aged 11–15) were administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Children (STAIC), the Child Depression Inventory (CDI), the Escala de Evaluación de la Depresión (EED), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Junior (EPQ-J). The results revealed a significant positive relationship among Neuroticism, Anxiety and depression and a negative correlation between Extraversion and depression. The Neuroticism level had a stronger relationship to social class, and depression to gender.
