Social Anxiety Disorder

Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by an intense fear of social situations where one might face humiliation, rejection, embarrassment, or negative evaluation. This disorder leads individuals to avoid activities like casual conversations, public speaking, or seemingly simple tasks such as eating, signing documents, or swimming, in public settings. Its impact extends beyond discomfort, often significantly interfering with daily functioning and quality of life.

Causes of Social Behavior II: Cognitive Processes

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Public speaking is a common fear for adolescents with social anxiety disorder.
  • Behavioral markers like gaze avoidance and speech disruptions can negatively impact social interactions.
  • Research on how cognitive behavior therapy affects these markers is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate changes in gaze behavior and speech disruptions in adolescents with social anxiety disorder after cognitive behavior therapy.
  • To explore the effectiveness of the Skills for Academic and Social Success program.

Main Methods:

  • A preliminary study involving 41 adolescents (aged 11-17) with social anxiety disorder.
  • Participants underwent 12 weeks of group cognitive behavior therapy.
  • Eye-tracking technology was used to record gaze behavior during a five-minute public speaking task before and after therapy.

Main Results:

  • An increase in gaze frequency towards the audience's faces was observed post-therapy.
  • Older adolescents showed greater improvements in gaze behavior.
  • No significant changes in speech disruptions were found at the group level.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive behavior therapy may positively influence gaze behavior in socially anxious adolescents during public speaking.
  • Further research is needed to understand the clinical implications and potential of this therapeutic approach.
