Feb 18, 2016 · This review highlights the main lines of existing adult and youth research on scales that form part of diagnostic instruments that assess SAD, scales that measure social anxiety symptoms, and scales that measure theory-based psychological maintaining factors associated with SAD.

    Participants

    Participants included 175 individuals (66.3% female) with an average age of 19.1 (SD= 3.6). Participants reported their ethnicity as Caucasian (71.4%), Latinx (9.7%), African American (7.4%), Asian American (3.4%), Middle Eastern (0.6%), and “Other” (7.4%).

    Procedure

    All procedures were approved through the IRB. Participants were recruited through an online recruitment platform from a large Southwestern University and compensated with course credit. Informed consent was obtained from participants and then they completed demographics questions, the SAQ (; α = .92), Social Interaction Anxiety Scale-straight forward (SIAS-sf; [15, 41, 42], Social Phobia Scale (SPS ; α = .92), as well as the Anticipatory Social Behaviors Questionnaire (ASBQ ; α =...

    Analytic Approach

    Zero-order correlations were calculated among the measures. Forced entry multiple regressions including SAQ, SIAS-sf, and SPS as predictors were used to determine the unique predictive ability of the SAQ on measures of anxiety (STAI-state, STAI-trait), depression (PHQ), and repetitive negative thinking (PSWQ-a, ASBQ) above and beyond the SIAS-sf and SPS. Multicollinearity, skew, and kurtosis indices were within acceptable bounds.

    Correlations

    Correlations are presented in Table 3. SAQ total scores were significantly correlated with SIAS-sf (r = .847,p < .001), SPS (r = .770, p < .001), STAI-state (r = .682,p < .001), STAI-trait (r = .746,p < .001), PHQ (r = .598, p < .001), PSWQ-a (r = .650,p < .001) and ASBQ (r = .779,p< .001).

    Regressions

    Regression results are presented in Table 4. The overall regression model with STAI-state was significant, F(3,173) = 53.88, p < .001, which accounted for 48.7% of the variance. When controlling for all other predictors, only SAQ (p < .001) and SPS (p < .015) predicted STAI-state. Specifically, increased SAQ and SPS scores predicted increased STAI-state scores. The overall regression model with STAI-trait was significant, F(3,174) = 74.05, p < .001, which accounted for 56.5% of the variance....

    To determine whether the SAQ holds construct validity and predictive utility compared to existing measures of social anxiety (e.g., SIAS, SPS), correlations and multiple regression analyses were used. Indeed, the SAQ showed extremely high concordance with existing measures of social anxiety. High correlations are expected; however, with such high c...

  4. Nov 9, 2017 · The same psycho-evolutionary account explains that negative evaluations decrease social status (commensurate to social rank) with the risk of ultimate social exclusion. Thus, FNE supposedly serves to avoid downward shifts in social hierarchy.
