Previous studies have established the efficacy of group and individual formats of cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing fear of negative evaluation in social anxiety disorder, but the effectiveness of the group and individual therapies has not been widely assessed. This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavior group therapy to individual cognitive-behavioral therapy in social anxiety disorder. 28 patients were randomly allocated to two groups of 14. Each group participated in 12 weekly sessions. The final sample was 22 participants after drop-out. Pretest and posttest data were collected using the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Controlling for pretest fear of negative evaluation and depression, cognitive-behavioral group therapy was more effective than individual cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing fear of negative evaluation, but the clinical significance and improvement rates of the two treatment formats were equivalent.
以往的研究已经证实，团体和个体形式的认知行为疗法在减轻社交焦虑障碍中对负面评价的恐惧方面具有疗效，但团体和个体疗法的有效性尚未得到广泛评估。本研究旨在比较认知行为团体疗法与个体认知行为疗法在社交焦虑障碍中的有效性。28名患者被随机分为两组，每组14人。每组参加为期12周的每周一次的治疗。最终样本在剔除退出者后为22名参与者。使用简短负面评价恐惧量表和贝克抑郁量表第二版收集前测和后测数据。在控制前测的负面评价恐惧和抑郁水平后，认知行为团体疗法在减轻负面评价恐惧方面比个体认知行为疗法更有效，但两种治疗形式的临床意义和改善率相当。
