Objective: Network analysis allows us to identify the most interconnected (i.e., central) symptoms, and multiple authors have suggested that these symptoms might be important treatment targets.This is because change in central (relative others) should greater impact on all other symptoms.It has been argued networks derived from cross-sectional data may help such symptoms.We tested this hypothesis social anxiety disorder.Method: We first estimated a state-of-the-art regularized partial...
Objective-To investigate treatment outcome and mediators of Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT) vs. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Waitlist (WL) in patients with generalized social anxiety disorder (SAD).Method-108 unmedicated (55.6% female; mean age = 32.7,SD 8.0; 43.5% Caucasian, 39% Asian, 9.3% Hispanic, 8.3% other) were randomized to CBGT MBSR WL completed assessments at baseline, post-treatment/WL, 1-year follow-up, including the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale...
Elevated fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and positive (FPE) are thought to play key roles in the maintenance social anxiety disorder (SAD). Although efficacious therapies exist for SAD, potential mediating moderating effects FNE FPE on treatment outcome have not been examined. This sample comprised a secondary analysis 210 individuals who participated one three randomized controlled trials SAD. Participants were to: individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group CBT, community...
Objectives Research suggests a positive relationship between social anxiety and shame; however, few studies have examined this or potential mechanisms. Common behaviours of persons with disorder ( SAD ), such as submissive behaviours, may be more consistent societal expectations women than men therefore likely to associated shame in socially anxious women. We the hypothesis that would mediate men, but not women, . Design Moderated mediation was cross‐sectional dataset. Gender modeled...
Background and Objectives: Poor sleep is prevalent among individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) may affect treatment outcome. We examined whether: (1) SAD differed from healthy controls (HCs) in quality, (2) baseline quality moderated the effects of (Cognitive–behavioral group therapy [CBGT] vs. mindfulness-based stress reduction [MBSR] waitlist [WL]) on anxiety, (3) changed over treatment, (4) changes predicted 12-months post-treatment.Design: Participants were 108 adults a...
Background: Loneliness is a universal experience that particularly relevant to social anxiety. However, research has not examined loneliness among treatment-seeking individuals with anxiety disorder (SAD) or assessed whether mal-adaptive adaptive emotion regulation strategies moderate the relationship between and loneliness. Methods: We baseline scores of SAD (n = 121) who sought treatment as part waitlist-controlled trial cognitive behavioral group therapy versus mindfulness-based stress...
Given evidence that individuals high in intolerance of uncertainty (IU; the tendency to experience unknown outcomes as unacceptably threatening) exhibit poorer decision-making strategies and are more behaviorally inhibited unpredictable situations than those low IU, present study sought elucidate relationship between IU by studying confidence speed making repeated decisions high-risk scenarios with an immediate threat given limited but changing information. Seventy undergraduates or...
The Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire (CD-Quest) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses common cognitive distortions. Although the CD-Quest has excellent psychometric properties, its length may limit use. We attempted to develop short-forms of using RiskSLIM – machine learning method build short-form scales can be scored by hand. Each was fit maximize concordance with total score for specified number items based on an objective function, in this case R2, selecting optimal subset and...
Socially anxious college students are at increased risk for engaging in problematic drinking (i.e. heavy or risky drinking) behaviors that associated with the development of an alcohol use disorder. The present study examined whether post-event processing (PEP), repeatedly thinking about and evaluating one’s performance a past social situation, strengthens association between anxiety vulnerability to among students. Eighty-three drinkers high low participated interaction task were exposed...
