  • Post-event processing frequency and valence were assessed over one week.
  • Metacognitive processes were explored in both groups.

    • Main Results:

    • High social anxiety group reported more anxiety, predicted worse performance, and underestimated actual performance.

    • Negative post-event processing correlated with social anxiety and negative performance appraisals.

    Conclusions:

    • Post-event processing is a key cognitive feature in social anxiety.
    • Negative self-appraisals and extensive post-event review exacerbate social anxiety.
    • Findings support cognitive models and inform therapeutic interventions for social phobia.
