Social Evaluation in Emerging Adults: Associations with Interpretation Bias and Perceived Social Support.
Social anxiety symptoms are one of the most common mental health concerns across the lifespan (Bandelow and Michaelis in Dialogues Clin Neurosci 17(3):327–335, 2015. https://doi.org/10.31887/DCNS.2015.17.3/bbandelow) and are especially relevant during emerging adulthood, when social feedback occurs...

Two cognitive processes have been identified as relevant to social anxiety: high threat interpretation bias (i.e., the tendency to appraise threat from ambiguity; Rozenman et al. in Behav Ther 45(5):594–605, 2014. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beth.2014.03.009; J Anxiety Disord 45:34–42, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.janxdis.2016.11.004) is associated with high social anxiety, whereas high perceived social support is associated with low social anxiety. In this study, emerging adults (N = 303) completed an online adaptation of the Chatroom task (Guyer et al. in Arch Gener Psychiatry 65(11):1303–1312, 2008. https://doi.org/10.1001/archpsyc.65.11.1303), an experimental paradigm designed to simulate social acceptance and rejection, as well as a performance-based measure of interpretation bias (Word Sentence Association Paradigm; Beard and Amir in Behav Res Ther 46(10):1135–1141, 2008. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brat.2008.05.012), and a self-report measure of perceived social support (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support; Zimet et al. in J Pers Assess 52(1), 30–41, 1988. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15327752jpa5201%5f2). Social anxiety symptoms did not increase as a function of acceptance or rejection during the Chatroom task. However, there were significant interactions between each cognitive predictor and social anxiety change: emerging adults with low interpretation bias towards threat and emerging adults with high perceived social support both experienced decreases in social anxiety from pre- to post-Chatroom task, regardless of whether they were accepted or rejected during the Chatroom task. If replicated, low interpretation bias and high perceived social support may serve as promotive factors in social interactions for emerging adults. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
