“…More recently, research has begun to investigate whether FPE is related exclusively to social anxiety or whether it mediates a broader vulnerability for various disorders that co‐occur with social anxiety. Although the spectrum of comorbid disorders is manifold (e.g., other anxiety, mood, personality, and substance use disorders; see Szafranski, Talkovsky, Farris, & Norton, ), only the overlap with a few have been studied so far.…”

Social anxiety is characterized by a fear of being negatively evaluated by others (i.e., Fear of Negative Evaluation [FNE]). In 2008, Weeks, Heimberg, and Rodebaugh proposed Fear of Positive Evaluation (FPE) as a second cognitive component in social anxiety. The article presents an overview of FPE, its psycho-evolutionary theoretical foundation and assessment by the Fear of Positive Evaluation Scale as well as relevant psychometric research on demographic characteristics. The relationship of FPE with a wide range of established dimensions from clinical, personality, and social psychology (i.e., self-esteem, perfectionism, or quality of life) will be reviewed. The role of FPE for psychological comorbidities such as other anxiety disorders, depression, eating, and substance use disorders as well as for treatment of social anxiety will be discussed. Future research might address questions of causality of FPE relative to related constructs, further data on psychometric properties, as well as on its independence from FNE in longitudinal studies. In sum, FPE seems to be a valid and reliable construct that explains cognitions, emotions, and behavior related to social anxiety at subclinical and clinical levels and therefore enriches the psychometric repertoire in the fields of social psychology, personality, and clinical psychology.

“…Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by severe fear and anxiety in social situations or any other situations where the individual might be exposed to negative attention or judgment by others [1]. SAD is a widespread, debilitating disorder which impairs important aspects of an individual's life such as financial and occupational stability, educational performance, mental health and the quality of life [2][3][4]. Apart from having multifarious damaging and incapacitating consequences for patients and their family, SAD is considered a costly disorder for the whole society as well.…”

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a widespread debilitating and costly disorder for both the patient and the society. The high comorbidity rate of SAD with other psychological disorders as well as its impact upon increasing the burden of the disorder, call for more efficient approaches for its treatment. Evaluating the effectiveness of a new psychotherapeutic model for the treatment of SAD, shortly named PTC (Paradox + Timetable = Cure), is introduced in this article. Three patients with SAD participated in a video recorded PTC therapy program. The results and the empirical evidence obtained from the treatment of the patients revealed a very positive complete outcome after three sessions for the first two patients and four sessions for the last one. The result of 24 to 36 months follow-up showed that the therapeutic changes were satisfactory, stable and permanent, during which no relapse was happened. Mechanisms of "paradoxical timetable", as the main PTC technique, and its adjustment to the treatment outcomes of the three patients are explained. It is concluded that the PTC psychotherapeutic model can be considered as a very shortterm, effective, efficient and yet economical approach for the treatment of SAD.

“…As is typical for samples of patients who qualify for a diagnosis of SAD (Szafranski et al 2014), our clinical sample was characterized by a fair amount of diagnostic comorbidity (see Table 2). Within the SAD patient subsamples, women with and without comorbid psychiatric diagnoses were equivalent across all dependent variables (i.e., mean F0 assessed throughout the diagnostic interviews), all Fs < 0.38, all ps>.54.…”

The relationship between vocal pitch and social anxiety has been examined with encouraging results across a growing number of studies, highlighting increased fundamental frequency (F0) as a potential disorder-specific physiological marker of social anxiety. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between mean F0 emitted during diagnostic interviews and social anxiety disorder (SAD) symptoms. Patients who qualified for a diagnosis of SAD (n=26) and a subsample of demographically-matched healthy controls (HCs; n=12) were administered clinical diagnostic interviews. We examined mean F0 emitted during select segments of the diagnostic interviews utilizing specialized vocal analysis equipment. Men (but not women) who qualified for a diagnosis of SAD emitted greater overall mean F0 in comparison to HCs throughout the course of the diagnostic interviews, and mean F0 emitted during the introductory segment of the diagnostic interviews was positively related to SAD symptoms for men (but not women). Furthermore, a previously-established threshold of mean F0 which demonstrated excellent differentiation between men with SAD and controls was successfully replicated in the present design, with regard to F0 emitted during the introductory segment of the interviews. These results provide strong additional support for increased F0 as a physiological indicator and behavioral marker of SAD in samples of men. Implications for the assessment and treatment of SAD are discussed.
