Physiological activation is thought to be a part of the constellation of responses that accompany social anxiety, but evidence regarding the nature of such activation is mixed. In two studies, the relationship between trait social anxiety and responses during social interaction was explored using on-line cardiovascular indexes of threat. Across Studies 1 and 2, women higher in trait social anxiety exhibited cardiovascular responses consistent with greater threat during the social interaction than those lower in social anxiety. Retrospective self-reports (Studies 1 and 2), as well as partner ratings and interaction behavior (Study 2), also revealed consistent differences as a function of trait social anxiety. Study 2 added male participants, among whom a divergence emerged between results for physiological measures and other responses. These findings have implications for understanding physiological as well as psychological processes among people with social anxiety during social interaction.
生理激活被认为是伴随社交焦虑的一系列反应的一部分，但关于这种激活的性质的证据是混杂的。在两项研究中，使用在线心血管威胁指标来探讨特质社交焦虑与社交互动期间反应之间的关系。在研究 1 和研究 2 中，特质社交焦虑程度较高的女性在社交互动期间表现出与更大威胁一致的心血管反应，而社交焦虑程度较低的女性则没有。回顾性自我报告（研究 1 和研究 2），以及伴侣评分和互动行为（研究 2），也揭示了作为特质社交焦虑函数的一致差异。研究 2 增加了男性参与者，其中生理测量和其他反应的结果出现了分歧。这些发现对于理解社交焦虑人群在社交互动期间的生理和心理过程具有重要意义。
