Abstract
In a sample of 93 college students, self-reported executive functioning was shown to moderate the relationship between stress level and anxiety. The directionality of these associations requires further investigation, but these findings indicate that targeting executive dysfunction may serve to mitigate the pathway between stress and anxiety in emerging adults.
