Social phobia is a persistent disorder that is unlikely to be maintained by avoidance alone. One reason for the enduring nature of social phobia may be the way individuals with the disorder process social information. It is important for those involved in social phobia to have an understanding of information-processing biases, because it has the potential to guide psychological interventions. In this review of social phobia, probability and cost estimates of social situations are examined, interpretive biases are evaluated and findings relating to memory and negative imagery are also reviewed. The clinical implications of social-phobia-related information-processing biases are discussed and possible avenues for future research are outlined.
社交恐惧症是一种持续性障碍，不太可能仅通过回避来维持。社交恐惧症具有持久性的一个原因可能是患有该障碍的个体处理社交信息的方式。对于那些参与社交恐惧症研究的人来说，了解信息处理偏差很重要，因为它有可能指导心理干预。在这篇关于社交恐惧症的综述中，研究了社交情境的概率和成本估计，评估了解释偏差，还回顾了与记忆和负面意象相关的研究结果。讨论了与社交恐惧症相关的信息处理偏差的临床意义，并概述了未来研究的可能途径。
