Social anxiety and depressive symptoms are relatively common in adolescents with Mild to Borderline Intellectual Disabilities (MBID). Unfortunately, there are only a few studies that focus on examining processes underlying social anxiety and depression in these adolescents.
The aim was to examine the differences between self- and peer-rated likability in relation to social anxiety and depression in the classroom environment.
631 normative non-clinical adolescents with MBID completed questionnaires to measure social anxiety, depression, and the estimation of their own likability by peers. Peer-reported likability was derived from peer-rating scales on likability.
Adolescents with higher levels of social anxiety significantly rated their own likability as lower than their non-anxious peers. However, socially adolescents were equally liked by their peers. Adolescents with higher levels of depression were significantly less liked by their peers, but still underestimated their own likability than adolescents with lower levels of depression.
Social anxiety and depression are linked to a biased interpretation of likability, but only depression is linked to actually being less liked by peers. Social anxiety and depression are partly based on similar underlying cognitive biases.
社交焦虑和抑郁症状在轻度至边缘智力障碍（MBID）的青少年中相对常见。不幸的是，只有少数研究关注这些青少年社交焦虑和抑郁背后的潜在过程。
目的是研究在课堂环境中，与社交焦虑和抑郁相关的自我评定和同伴评定的受欢迎程度之间的差异。
631名患有MBID的正常非临床青少年完成了问卷调查，以测量社交焦虑、抑郁以及同伴对他们自身受欢迎程度的评估。同伴报告的受欢迎程度来自于关于受欢迎程度的同伴评定量表。
社交焦虑水平较高的青少年显著地将自己的受欢迎程度评定得低于无焦虑的同伴。然而，社交方面这些青少年同样受到同伴的喜欢。抑郁水平较高的青少年明显较不受同伴喜欢，但与抑郁水平较低的青少年相比，他们仍然低估了自己的受欢迎程度。
社交焦虑和抑郁与对受欢迎程度的偏差解释有关，但只有抑郁与实际较不受同伴喜欢有关。社交焦虑和抑郁部分基于相似的潜在认知偏差。
