“…Miers et al 2011b , 2010 ). However, as highlighted by Wong and Rapee ( 2015 ), it is not possible to determine the direction of causality from these studies. Further, none of these studies have considered the contaminating effect of safety behaviours on social skills.…”

“…The notion of safety behaviours provides a different perspective on the understanding of the inhibited or withdrawn behaviours of people who are socially anxious. Traditionally, these behaviours have been interpreted as a sign that the individual lacks social skills (Wong and Rapee 2015 ). However, treated adults do not show ongoing social skills deficits (for a review see Hofmann ( 2007 )).…”

Social anxiety disorder is a condition characterised by a marked and persistent fear of being humiliated or scrutinised by others. Age-of-onset data point to adolescence as a developmentally sensitive period for the emergence of the condition, at a time when the peer group becomes increasingly important. Social anxiety in adolescence is associated with considerable impairment that persists through to adulthood. There are clear potential benefits to delivering effective interventions during adolescence. However, there is limited evidence on the specific efficacy of available therapies. This is in contrast to adults, for whom we have interventions with very specific treatment effects. One such treatment is individual cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy is based on the cognitive model of social anxiety proposed by Clark and Wells (in: Heimberg, Leibowitz, Hope, Scheiber (eds) Social phobia: diagnosis, assessment and treatment, The Guilford Press, New York, 1995). The present review examines the potential application of this adult cognitive model to the understanding of adolescent social anxiety and considers additional adolescent-specific factors that need to be accommodated. It is suggested that a developmentally sensitive adoption of the cognitive model of social anxiety disorder (Clark and Wells 1995) for adolescents may lead to better treatment outcomes.

“…In contemporary theoretical models, low facilitative or high constraining parenting, that is, parenting behavior characterized by low autonomy support or high overprotection or overcontrol (e.g., psychological control), is assumed to play a prominent role in the development of social anxiety symptoms (Spence & Rapee, ; Wong & Rapee, , ). Even though these processes through which parents affect their youth take place at the level of the individual family, empirical support for this association between youth anxiety symptoms and parenting is largely based on cross‐sectional studies and between‐family, or between‐person analyses such as regression analyses or structural equation models at the group level (for meta‐analytic reviews, see McLeod, Wood, & Weisz, ; Van der Bruggen, Stams, & Bögels, ; Yap, Pilkington, Ryan, & Jorm, ).…”

“…Adolescents in families with more overcontrolling and less autonomy supporting parents are expected to experience more social anxiety symptoms than adolescents in families with less overcontrolling and more autonomy supporting parents (Spence & Rapee, ; Wong & Rapee, ). There are several mechanisms through which high parental psychological control and low parental autonomy support may be associated with increased levels of adolescent (social) anxiety symptoms (Van der Bruggen et al., ).…”

This 4-year longitudinal multi-informant study examined between-and within-person associations between adolescent social anxiety symptoms and parenting (parental psychological control and autonomy support). A community sample of 819 adolescents (46.1% girls; M age T 1 = 13.4 years) reported annually on social anxiety symptoms and both adolescents and mothers reported on parenting. Between-person associations suggested that adolescent social anxiety symptoms were associated with higher adolescent-and mother-reported psychological control and lower mother-reported autonomy support. At the within-person level, however, mothers reported lower psychological control and higher autonomy support after periods with higher adolescent social anxiety symptoms. Our findings illustrate the importance of distinguishing among between-person and within-person associations and including perceptions of both dyad members in longitudinal research concerning parenting and adolescent mental health.

“…Previous research in cognitive models of social anxiety have shown that a dominant cognitive process associated with social anxiety is a cognitive bias towards negative or threatening social information (Wong & Rapee, 2015). Cognitive bias is the tendency to preferentially process information that aligns with one's current interests and concerns ; for individuals with social anxiety, this cognitive bias reflects their assumption of social evaluative threat in their social experiences.…”

I love you all to the moon. Many thanks to the speech-language pathologists who graciously helped me recruit participants for this project, and to the adolescents who participated.
