Gender differences in the social anxiety spectrum and their correlation with other psychopathological features were analyzed in 520 students by using two questionnaires: the Social Anxiety Spectrum Self-Report (SHY-SR), which explores social anxiety spectrum, and the General Spectrum Measure (GSM), which explores panic-agoraphobia, mood, obsessive-compulsive, and eating-behavior features. Mean SHY-SR total score was significantly higher in women than in men, and gender differences were particularly pronounced for interpersonal sensitivity domain. Likewise, GSM scores were higher in women, except for the manic section. The SHY-SR domains correlated significantly with all GSM sections, except for the manic section. In conclusion, women reported more symptoms than men (who belonged to different psychopathologic dimensions) and displayed a profile of social anxiety spectrum that differs quantitatively but not qualitatively from the men's profile. The correlation between social anxiety spectrum and other psychopathological features mirrors previous findings concerning the high comorbidity of axis-I social anxiety disorder.
通过使用两份问卷对520名学生进行分析，研究社交焦虑谱系中的性别差异及其与其他精神病理学特征的相关性。这两份问卷分别是：用于探索社交焦虑谱系的《社交焦虑谱系自我报告》（SHY-SR），以及用于探索惊恐-广场恐惧症、情绪、强迫观念及强迫行为和饮食行为特征的《综合谱系测量》（GSM）。女性的SHY-SR总分均值显著高于男性，人际敏感领域的性别差异尤为明显。同样，除躁狂部分外，女性的GSM得分更高。除躁狂部分外，SHY-SR各领域与GSM各部分均显著相关。总之，女性报告的症状比男性（属于不同精神病理维度）更多，并且表现出的社交焦虑谱系特征在数量上与男性不同，但在质量上并无差异。社交焦虑谱系与其他精神病理学特征之间的相关性反映了先前关于轴I型社交焦虑障碍高共病性的研究结果。
