Fear of positive evaluation (FPE) has been proposed to be an important feature of social anxiety disorder (SAD) and to be rooted, at least partly, in concerns of social reprisal due to positive impressions. In order to formally test this hypothesis, the Concerns of Social Reprisal Scale (CSRS) was developed. The purpose of the present series of studies was to examine the psychometric profile of the CSRS across several independent samples including: a large (n=981) undergraduate sample; a clinical sample of individuals diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (n=27), and a demographically-matched subsample of healthy control participants (n=24). The factorial validity, internal consistency, and construct validity of the CSRS were examined. Results across both studies provided support for the psychometric profile of the CSRS. The implications of concerns of social reprisal for the assessment of social anxiety symptoms, theoretical models of fear of evaluation and SAD, and their potential clinical utility with regard to treating SAD are discussed.
对积极评价的恐惧(FPE)被认为是社交焦虑障碍(SAD)的一个重要特征,并且至少部分源于对积极印象导致社会报复的担忧。为了正式检验这一假设,开发了社会报复担忧量表(CSRS)。本系列研究的目的是在包括以下几个独立样本的范围内检验 CSRS 的心理计量特征:一个大型(n=981)本科生样本;一个被诊断为社交焦虑障碍的临床样本(n=27),以及一个具有相似人口统计学特征的健康对照组参与者子样本(n=24)。检验了 CSRS 的因子有效性、内部一致性和构念有效性。两项研究的结果均支持 CSRS 的心理计量特征。讨论了社会报复担忧对社交焦虑症状评估的影响、评价恐惧和 SAD 的理论模型,以及它们在治疗 SAD 方面的潜在临床应用。
