“…The criteria defined by Liebowitz et al to define social anxiety levels using the LSAS are the following : 55-65 : Moderate social phobia ; 65-80 : Marked social phobia ; 80-95 : Severe social phobia ; Greater than 95 : Very severe social phobia. Hence, high socially anxious (HSA) individuals (N=18; 10 females) were defined as those scoring 65 or more on the LSAS while the low-anxiety (LSA) individuals (N=18; 9 females) had to score under 45 [68]. Participants were also administered the Trait Anxiety Inventory ([STAI-T, 69]), and the Fear of Negative Evaluation questionnaire (FNE, [70]).…”

Social anxiety is characterized by fear of evaluative interpersonal situations. Many studies have investigated the perception of emotional faces in socially anxious individuals and have reported biases in the processing of threatening faces. However, faces are not the only stimuli carrying an interpersonal evaluative load. The present study investigated the processing of emotional body postures in social anxiety. Participants with high and low social anxiety completed an attention-shifting paradigm using neutral, angry and happy faces and postures as cues. We investigated early visual processes through the P100 component, attentional fixation on the P2, structural encoding mirrored by the N170, and attentional orientation towards stimuli to detect with the P100 locked on target occurrence. Results showed a global reduction of P100 and P200 responses to faces and postures in socially anxious participants as compared to non-anxious participants, with a direct correlation between self-reported social anxiety levels and P100 and P200 amplitudes. Structural encoding of cues and target processing were not modulated by social anxiety, but socially anxious participants were slower to detect the targets. These results suggest a reduced processing of social postural and facial cues in social anxiety.

“…Third, we did not assess the test-retest reliability of the scale, thereby limiting its use in clinical research applications. Indeed, when assessing change in pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments, some researchers recommend weighting each individual clinical change by the test-retest reliability (e.g., Jacobson & Truax, 1991;Heeren, Maurage, et al, 2012). This approach ensures that the clinical changes observed reflect more than the simple fluctuation of an imprecise measuring instrument.…”

“…This development is critical, as clinical measurement clearly benefits from being tailored to the treatments and constructed to ensure an ideographic approach to clinical change (e.g., Christensen & Mendoza, 1986;Jacobson & Truax, 1991;Heeren, Maurage, et al, 2012). The present study was thus designed to develop and validate a sexual version of the FFMQ, called the FFMQ-S, that ADAM, HEEREN, DAY, AND DE SUTTER can be used in future research examining the effect of mindfulness in the treatment of sexual difficulties among women.…”

It has been recently demonstrated that mindfulness-based intervention may be particularly suitable for addressing sexual difficulties in women. Although the FiveFacet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) is currently one of the most widely used scales to assess mindfulness, no adaptation and validation of the FFMQ to measure female sexual functioning has been published. The main aim of this study was to develop and validate a sexual version of the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-S) to specifically measure mindfulness in the context of sexual encounters. A total of 251 healthy, French-speaking female volunteers were administered the FFMQ-S, the original FFMQ, and the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS-R). Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the FFMQ-S exhibits a five-factor model, as implied by the original FFMQ. Good scale reliability was observed. The FFMQ-S showed significant correlations with the FSDS-R and the usual FFMQ. Scores on the FFMQ-S correlated significa...

The FFMQ-S showed significant correlations with the FSDS-R and the usual FFMQ. Scores on the FFMQ-S correlated significantly more negatively with the total FSDS-R score than with the total score of the original version of the FFMQ. These findings clearly support the relevance of developing a version of the FFMQ tailored to sexual functioning.
