The self-disclosures of socially anxious and nonanxious Ss were compared within the framework of R. M. Arkin's (1981) motivational theory of social anxiety. Ss (N = 84 women) were paired with a confederate who disclosed at either a high or a low level of intimacy (i.e., the classic reciprocity paradigm). Consistent with R. M. Arkin's theory, anxious Ss were concerned with self-protection during the task and disclosed at a moderate level of intimacy regardless of their partner's behavior. In addition, anxious Ss did not reciprocate their partners' disclosures as well as did nonanxious Ss. The self-protective behaviors of the anxious Ss were associated with less liking and more discomfort on the part of their partners. This suggests that the adoption of self-protective strategies may elicit negative interpersonal reactions that maintain self-defeating interpersonal patterns in socially anxious people.
在R.M.阿金（1981）的社交焦虑动机理论框架内，对社交焦虑和非焦虑被试的自我表露进行了比较。被试（84名女性）与一名同盟者配对，该同盟者进行高亲密度或低亲密度的自我表露（即经典的互惠范式）。与R.M.阿金的理论一致，焦虑的被试在任务过程中关注自我保护，无论其搭档的行为如何，都以适度的亲密度进行自我表露。此外，焦虑的被试不像非焦虑的被试那样对搭档的自我表露做出回应。焦虑被试的自我保护行为会让其搭档产生较少的喜爱和较多的不适。这表明，采取自我保护策略可能会引发负面的人际反应，从而维持社交焦虑者自我挫败的人际模式。
