Social phobia is an excessive concern about scrutiny by other people in situations the person considers embarrassing or humiliating. The purpose of this study is to explore the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the social fear and social avoidance subscales of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and to analyze the score distribution of both subscales. To this end, we assessed a sample of 1,012 Spanish adolescents attending school. The results of a first-order factor analysis indicate the existence of a dominant factor in both subscales of the LSAS--as well as three other less relevant factors--and explain most of the variance of the subscales. The internal consistency of the first factor was quite high in both subscales. The LSAS and its two subscales showed adequate theoretical validity with different variables related to social interaction. Finally, the different scores obtained in both subscales make it possible to group adolescents into three clusters with different characteristics. A study of the sociodemographic variables of the components of the clusters showed a significant relation only with sex.
社交恐惧症是指在个人认为尴尬或丢脸的情境中，过度担心受到他人审视。本研究的目的是探讨莱博维茨社交焦虑量表（LSAS）中社交恐惧和社交回避分量表的因素结构、信度和效度，并分析这两个分量表的得分分布。为此，我们评估了1012名西班牙在校青少年的样本。一阶因素分析结果表明，LSAS的两个分量表中均存在一个主导因素以及其他三个不太相关的因素，且这些因素解释了分量表的大部分方差。两个分量表中第一个因素的内部一致性都很高。LSAS及其两个分量表在与社交互动相关的不同变量上显示出足够的理论效度。最后，两个分量表获得的不同分数使得将青少年分为具有不同特征的三个类别成为可能。对这些类别的组成部分的社会人口统计学变量的研究表明，仅与性别存在显著关系。
