An embodied sense of self allows individuals to acquire moment-to-moment insight regarding the relationship between themselves and their environment. Fundamental to this experience is information regarding body ownership and self-location, which can inform both intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning. Although it is well documented that variation in mental health symptoms can impact the accuracy of bodily self-perception, little research has, to date, explored the influence of social anxiety on the embodied self. To address this issue, here we propose to examine the impact of social anxiety on the rubber hand illusion (RHI), a procedure which can distort perceptions of body location and ownership. Related literature points to competing predictions relative to how symptoms of social anxiety potentially impact susceptibility to the RHI. In the current manuscript we present the results of a pilot study indicating a positive relationship between the strength of the RHI and social anxiety, and detail a proposed registered report that seeks to replicate and extend this experiment.
具身自我意识使个体能够即时洞察自身与环境之间的关系。这种体验的基础是关于身体所有权和自我定位的信息，它可以为个体内部和个体间的功能提供信息。尽管已有大量文献表明心理健康症状的变化会影响身体自我感知的准确性，但迄今为止，很少有研究探讨社交焦虑对具身自我的影响。为了解决这个问题，我们在这里提出研究社交焦虑对橡胶手错觉（RHI）的影响，该程序可以扭曲对身体位置和所有权的感知。相关文献提出了相互竞争的预测，说明社交焦虑的症状如何可能影响对 RHI 的易感性。在本手稿中，我们呈现了一项初步研究的结果，表明 RHI 的强度与社交焦虑之间存在正相关关系，并详细介绍了一项拟议的已注册报告，该报告旨在复制和扩展该实验。
