Individuals higher in social anxiety report more impaired friendship quality, which past research suggests may stem from constrained warmth. We examined three motivations for constrained warmth in friendships and determined how these motivations related to social anxiety and friendship impairment. To do so, we assessed the psychometric properties of the Favor Scale (FS), which measures an individual's response to friendly giving. Results indicated that the FS has three subscales: negative reactions to favors (NEG), positive reactions to favors (POS), and expectation of tit-for-tat behavior (E-TFT). Structural equation modeling demonstrated that social anxiety related directly to NEG, and indirectly to POS and E-TFT through NEG. POS related directly to friendship quality, indicating that friendships may be impaired in social anxiety disorder due to the cumulative effects of responding negatively to friendly behavior.
社交焦虑程度较高的个体报告称，他们的友谊质量受损更严重，这一现象在过往研究中被认为源于受限的温暖。我们研究了友谊中受限温暖的三个动机，并确定了这些动机与社交焦虑和友谊受损之间的关系。为此，我们评估了“友善给予反应量表”（Favor Scale，FS）的心理测量学特性，该量表用于衡量个体对友好给予的反应。结果表明，FS 有三个分量表：对友好行为的负面反应（NEG）、对友好行为的正面反应（POS）和期待以牙还牙的行为（E-TFT）。结构方程模型表明，社交焦虑与 NEG 直接相关，通过 NEG 与 POS 和 E-TFT 间接相关。POS 与友谊质量直接相关，这表明在社交焦虑障碍中，友谊可能会因对友好行为的负面反应而受损。
