Current therapies for social anxiety disorder emphasize taking behavioral action; active engagement of a behavior despite any present fear or anxiety that is associated with the behavior, through use of exposures. However, less is known about the mechanisms of behavioral action. The present study aimed to examine personal value, self-efficacy, and the perceived social acceptability of a social behavior as correlates of behavioral action in a high social anxiety sample.
The present study utilized vignettes and self-report measures to examine self-efficacy, personal value, and the social acceptability of a social behavior as correlates of behavioral action in a high social anxiety sample (N = 92).
The findings indicated that self-efficacy, but not personal value or social acceptability, was significantly associated with social anxiety. Additionally, with all variables included in the multiple regression model, social anxiety was significantly associated with behavioral action, while personal value and self-efficacy were associated with behavioral action over and above social anxiety.
The results highlight the potential for self-efficacy and personal value as target mechanisms for increasing engagement with exposures and behavioral experiments in treatments for social anxiety.
目前针对社交焦虑障碍的治疗方法强调采取行为措施；通过使用暴露疗法，尽管与行为相关的当下恐惧或焦虑仍然存在，但仍积极参与该行为。然而，关于行为措施的机制知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨个人价值观、自我效能感以及社会行为的可接受性，作为高社交焦虑人群中行为措施的相关因素。
本研究利用情景模拟和自我报告的方法，探讨自我效能感、个人价值观和社会行为的可接受性，作为高社交焦虑人群中行为措施的相关因素（N=92）。
研究结果表明，自我效能感与社交焦虑显著相关，但个人价值观或社会可接受性与社交焦虑无关。此外，在包含所有变量的多元回归模型中，社交焦虑与行为措施显著相关，而个人价值观和自我效能感与行为措施相关，且与社交焦虑无关。
结果强调了自我效能感和个人价值观作为增加社交焦虑治疗中暴露和行为实验参与度的潜在目标机制。
