Social anxiety in adolescence is manifested by anxiety about and avoidance of social interactions. The present study examined whether social anxiety predicts higher levels of both rumination and co-rumination over time. Rumination and co-rumination were studied as possible outcomes because the cognitive content of these processes often involves interpersonal concerns. A three-wave longitudinal study of 575 adolescents (aged 13-16 years old) was conducted over 6 months. Adolescent girls reported higher levels of social anxiety, rumination, and co-rumination than boys. Structural equation modelling analysis showed that social anxiety directly predicted higher levels of rumination and indirectly predicted higher levels of co-rumination over time. A gender difference was noted in that these relationships were more robust for girls than for boys.
青少年时期的社交焦虑表现为对社交互动的焦虑和回避。本研究考察了社交焦虑是否会随着时间的推移预测更高水平的反刍和共同反刍。反刍和共同反刍被研究为可能的结果，因为这些过程的认知内容通常涉及人际关系问题。对 575 名青少年（年龄在 13-16 岁之间）进行了为期 6 个月的三波纵向研究。研究发现，与男孩相比，少女报告的社交焦虑、反刍和共同反刍水平更高。结构方程模型分析表明，社交焦虑直接预测反刍水平的提高，间接地预测共同反刍水平的提高。值得注意的是，这种关系在女孩中比在男孩中更为显著。
