Information processing in social phobia : the effect of social appraisal on the anxiety programMellings, Tanna Marlane Boucher 11 1900 (has links)
This study examined several aspects of the anxiety program described in the
Clark and Wells' (1995; Clark, 2001) cognitive model of social phobia, and provided
information about the relationship between some of these variables. This study also
examined the effect of social appraisals on cognition, affect, and self-protection.
Positive and negative interpersonal appraisals were manipulated in 42 patients with
social phobia and 42 community control participants. Participants then engaged in a
social interaction with a confederate based on the reciprocity self-disclosure
paradigm. Participants completed measures of cognitive appraisal, focus of
attention, recall, affect, and self-disclosure. Personnel completed similar measures.
Results revealed that, consistent with the cognitive model, individuals with social
phobia displayed more self-focused attention, more negative affect, and more selfprotective
behaviours, i.e. were less self-disclosive, than non-phobic control
participants. There were no differences on the recall measure. The results
suggested that it was possible to manipulate social appraisals. Interestingly, the
largest discrepancy between participants with social phobia and controls occurred
for self-disclosure in the positive social appraisal condition. The results also
provided some clarification about the temporal sequence among the components of
the anxiety program, and the role of self-focused attention in social phobia.

Standard-setting, affect, and motivational concerns following social success in social phobiaWallace, Scott Taylor 05 1900 (has links)
This study examined the impact of positive or negative interpersonal feedback on
standard-setting, affect, and motivational concerns, within the framework of selfregulation
theories of social anxiety. Thirty-two individuals who met Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (rev. 3rd ed.; American Psychiatric
Association, 1987) criteria for social phobia and 32 nonclinical controls
participated in a successful or unsuccessful conversation with an assistant.
Subjects rated two aspects of self-regulation (self-efficacy and standards), positive
and negative affect, and motivational concerns. Consistent with predictions,
socially phobic subjects displayed a discrepancy between what they believed they
could achieve (efficacy) and what they believed others expected of them (standard)
and the magnitude of this discrepancy increased when they had succeeded at the
social task. In addition, anxious subjects reported higher levels of positive affect
after experiencing social success than they did after experiencing social failure but
they did not relinquish protective concerns. There was no evidence that socially
phobic subjects were distressed by social success but the results illuminate
dysfunctional standard-setting. Specifically, socially phobic individuals perceive
larger discrepancies between their ability and expectations following success than
they do following failure.

Friend or Foe? Memory and Expectancy Biases for Faces in Social AnxietyBielak, Tatiana January 2011 (has links)
Previous studies examining memory biases for threatening faces in social anxiety (SA) have yielded inconclusive results. In the present study, memory and expectancy biases were tested within the context of a novel face recognition paradigm that was designed to offset some of the methodological challenges that have hampered previous research. Undergraduates with high (n = 40) and low (n = 40) levels of SA viewed a series of neutral faces randomly paired with phrases that communicated positive or negative social feedback. Participants’ recognition memory was tested for previously encountered faces, and for their categorization of each encoded face as having been associated with negative (mean) or positive (nice) interpersonal statements. For new faces, participants were asked whether the person seemed mean or nice. Results provided no evidence in support of a general memory bias for threatening (mean) faces among high SA individuals, but instead suggested that high SA individuals lack a positive expectancy bias to appraise new social partners as being nice. Implications are considered for cognitive behavioral and interpersonal models of SA.
