This study examined differences between socially anxious and nonanxious individuals' ability to use effective communication skills and social skills in the context of romantic relationships. Socially anxious (n = 13) and nonanxious (n = 14) individuals and their romantic partners were videotaped while participating in 10-minute neutral, negative, and pleasant conversations. Regardless of the type of conversation in which they were involved, socially anxious individuals demonstrated impairment in 10 of the 11 social skill variables assessed. In negative conversations, socially anxious individuals displayed more "very negative" behaviors than nonanxious individuals, and across all conversations they displayed fewer "positive" behaviors than nonanxious individuals. Partners of socially anxious and nonanxious individuals did not differ in their communication quality. The results suggest that social anxiety is associated with deficits in relationship maintenance behavior and call for the completion of a larger study examining the interpersonal consequences of social anxiety.
本研究考察了社交焦虑个体与非焦虑个体在浪漫关系背景下运用有效沟通技巧和社交技巧的能力差异。社交焦虑个体（n = 13）和非焦虑个体（n = 14）及其浪漫伴侣在参与10分钟的中性、负面和愉快对话时被录像。无论参与何种类型的对话，社交焦虑个体在评估的11项社交技巧变量中有10项表现出受损。在负面对话中，社交焦虑个体比非焦虑个体表现出更多“非常负面”的行为，并且在所有对话中，他们比非焦虑个体表现出更少的“积极”行为。社交焦虑个体和非焦虑个体的伴侣在沟通质量上没有差异。结果表明，社交焦虑与关系维持行为的缺陷有关，并呼吁开展一项更大规模的研究，考察社交焦虑的人际后果。
