“…Although both social anxiety and paranoid thinking manifest as clinically significant extremes in small proportions of the population, considerable evidence suggests that milder experiences of the two phenomena are common in the broader community (Fenigstein & Vanable, 1992;Pollard & Henderson, 1988).…”

Recent evidence suggests that normal-range paranoid ideation may be particularly likely to arise in individuals disposed to both social anxiety and perceptual anomalies. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that among college students in an unselected sample, social anxiety and experience of perceptual anomalies would not only each independently predict the experience of self-reported paranoid ideation, but would also interact to predict paranoid patterns of thought. A diverse sample of 644 students completed a large battery of self-report measures, as well as the five-factor Paranoia/Suspiciousness Questionnaire (PSQ). We conducted hierarchical multiple regression analyses predicting scores on each PSQ factor from responses on measures of social anxiety, perceptual aberration, and the interaction between the two constructs.Current general negative affect was covaried in all analyses. We found that both social anxiety and perceptual aberrations, along with negative affect, predicted multiple dimensions of paranoia as measured by the PSQ; the two constructs did not, however, interact significantly to predict any dimensions. Our findings suggest that perceptual aberration and anxiety may contribute to normal-range paranoid ideation in an additive rather than an interactive manner.

“…Public speaking anxiety, a form of social phobia, is one of the most common psychological problems in the United States with prevalence estimates ranging from 11% to 30% of the population (Pollard & Henderson, 1988;Stein, Walker, & Forde, 1996;Wittchen, Stein, & Kessler, 1999). Current treatments for public speaking anxiety combine traditional exposure (e.g., repeated trials of public speaking) with cognitive restructuring in which patients are taught to think about the feared situation neutrally or positively rather than negatively (Heimberg, 2002;Hofmann & Smits, 2008;Hope, Heimberg, Juster, & Turk, 2000;Rapee & Heimberg, 1997).…”

a b s t r a c tExposure is an effective treatment for anxiety but many patients do not respond fully. Affect labeling (labeling emotional experience) attenuates emotional responding. The current project examined whether affect labeling enhances exposure effectiveness in participants with public speaking anxiety. Participants were randomized to exposure with or without affect labeling. Physiological arousal and selfreported fear were assessed before and after exposure and compared between groups. Consistent with hypotheses, participants assigned to Affect Labeling, especially those who used more labels during exposure, showed greater reduction in physiological activation than Control participants. No effect was found for self-report measures. Also, greater emotion regulation deficits at baseline predicted more benefit in physiological arousal from exposure combined with affect labeling than exposure alone. The current research provides evidence that behavioral strategies that target prefrontal-amygdala circuitry can improve treatment effectiveness for anxiety and these effects are particularly pronounced for patients with the greatest deficits in emotion regulation.

“…Dosadašnja istraživanja povezanosti socijalnog straha i stepena obrazovanja, davala su oprečne rezultate. Neka od njih su pokazala da ne postoje nikakve veze između stepena obrazovanja i socijalne fobije [16], druga da je ona češća kod osoba sa visokim obrazovanjem [17], i treća da je niži stepen obrazovanja češći [18]. Učenici i studenti u periodu adolescencije susreću se sa različitim obavezama i promjenama kojima moraju da se prilagode.…”

Kratak sadržajUvod. Pristupajući istraživanju socijalne fobije, namjera je bila da se doprinese razjašnjenju nekih aspekata ovog fenomena. Predmet istraživanja je socijalna fobija kod adolescenata, kao i provjera da li je ova pojava uslovljena socijalno -statusnim karakteristikama ispitanika.Metode. Od istraživačkih metoda korišten je metod teorijske analize primarnih i sekundarnih izvora i servej metod. Podaci su prikupljani upitnikom o socijalno -statusnim obilježjima i skalom procjene socijalne fobije. Uzorak ispitanika obuhvatio je 200 adolescenata. Za obradu podataka primjenjene su mjere srednjih vrijednosti i odstupanja od tih vrijednosti i mjere statističke značajnosti razlika među segmentima ukrštenih varijabli.Rezultati. Dobijeni podaci prvo su prikazani kao distribucija intenziteta socijalne fobije, a potom je sagledana priroda odnosa između zavisne varijable i nezavisnih varijabli. Rezultati pokazuju da 133 (66,5%) ispitanika posjeduje nizak stepen socijalne fobije, kod 44 (22,0%) ispitanika prisutna je umjerena socijalna fobija i kod 23 (11,5%) ispitanika simptomi socijalne fobije veoma su izraženi. U ispoljavanju socijalne fobije kod ispitanika muškog i ženskog pola postoje velike sličnosti i neznatne razlike. Razlike u ispoljavanju socijalne fobije kod prvorođene i drugorođene djece, takođe, nisu statistički značajne, a ne postoji ni statistički značajna povezanost između socijalne fobije i obrazovnog uzrasta.Zaključak. Najveći procenat ispitanika pokazuje nizak i umjeren nivo socijalne fobije (88,5%),a prevalenca izražene socijalne fobije kod adolescenata je 11,5%. Socijalno-statusna obilježja (pol, redoslijed rođenja i obrazovni uzrast) nisu značajne determinante koje utiču na intenzitet socijalne fobije.Ključne riječi: socijalna fobija, fobični strah, adolescencija UvodJedna od najčešćih smetnji u razvoju predadolescenata i adolescenata, posebno studenata, je socijalni strah. No, na sreću, socijalni strah je najčešće normalna pojava. Nema osobe koja nije osjetila napetost ili nelagodnost pri susretu sa važnim osobama, ili, pak, kada je trebalo javno da nastupa ili nešto da uradi pred
