Abstract
One of the biggest challenges that the youth population faces today is demotivation due to academic results, which is closely reflected in stress, anxiety, and depression behaviors. Thus, among the most prominent disorders in thE adolescent population is Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Attending school favors the comprehensive development of students (academic, personal, and social), however, the school rejection rate continues to be alarming. Due to the complexity of the behavior, it has not been possible to reach a common agreement that justifies the behavior, since the reasons are heterogeneous (fear, anxiety, or defiant disorder). Emotionally based school avoidance is an important and persistent cause of school absenteeism. Considering, therefore, the close relationship between internalizing emotions (anxiety, depression, stress) and school rejection, the objective of the present study was to
know the relationship between school anxiety and school rejection based on the high and low scores in school refusal. The sample was made up of a total of 1920 high school students. The School Refusal Behavior
Assessment Scale-Revised for children (I. Avoidance of negative affectivity; II. Escape from social situations; III. Attention seeking; IV. Seeking tangible reinforcement) and the School Anxiety Inventory (IAES) were used. The results reflected that students with high scores in school rejection obtained higher scores in the different anxiety dimensions evaluated compared to the group with low scores in school rejection. The role of anxiety as a risk factor for school refusal behavior is discussed
