This study examined the utility of modifying the Social Anxiety Scale for Children-Revised (SASC-R) for use with adolescents, and examined associations between adolescents' social anxiety (SA) and their peer relations, friendships, and social functioning. Boys (n = 101) and girls (n = 149) in the 10th through 12th grades completed the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) and measures of social support, perceived competence, and number and quality of their best friendships. Factor analysis of the SAS-A confirmed a three-factor structure: Fear of Negative Evaluation, Social Avoidance and Distress in General, and Social Avoidance Specific to New Situations or Unfamiliar Peers. Girls reported more SA than boys, and SA was more strongly linked to girls' social functioning than boys'. Specifically, adolescents with higher levels of SA reported poorer social functioning (less support from classmates, less social acceptance), and girls with higher levels of SA reported fewer friendships, and less intimacy, companionship, and support in their close friendships. These findings extend work on the SASC-R to adolescents, and suggest the importance of SA for understanding the social functioning and close friendships of adolescents, especially girls.
本研究考察了修订后的儿童社交焦虑量表（SASC-R）用于青少年的效用，并考察了青少年社交焦虑（SA）与其同伴关系、友谊及社交功能之间的关联。十至十二年级的101名男孩和149名女孩完成了青少年社交焦虑量表（SAS-A）以及社交支持、感知能力、最佳友谊的数量和质量的测量。对SAS-A的因素分析证实了一个三因素结构：对负面评价的恐惧、一般社交回避和痛苦、特定于新情境或不熟悉同伴的社交回避。女孩报告的社交焦虑比男孩多，并且社交焦虑与女孩社交功能的联系比男孩更强。具体而言，社交焦虑水平较高的青少年报告社交功能较差（来自同学的支持较少、社交接纳度较低），社交焦虑水平较高的女孩报告的友谊较少，并且在亲密友谊中亲密感、陪伴和支持也较少。这些发现将SASC-R的研究扩展到了青少年，并表明社交焦虑对于理解青少年尤其是女孩的社交功能和亲密友谊具有重要意义。
