“…Remarkably, McKnight et al 10 described in their review a significantly lower correlation between social functioning impairment and SP, compared to the other anxiety disorders. This contrasts the findings reported here, as well as those documented previously 5, 9, 20, 44, which indicate that SP involves more severe impairments on all social functioning indicators, as compared to other anxiety disorders.…”

“…Social functioning can be studied in various manners, and little consensus exists on how to best describe it 5. In recent reviews 5, 6, 7, a multidimensional definition is proposed that includes both ‘behavioural’ and ‘affective’ indicators of social functioning.…”

“…In recent reviews 5, 6, 7, a multidimensional definition is proposed that includes both ‘behavioural’ and ‘affective’ indicators of social functioning. Behavioural indicators represent objective and quantitative measures of social function 5, including social network size, frequency of social activities, and frequency of perceived social support. Affective indicators, on the other hand, reflect more subjective and evaluative measures of interpersonal and socio‐emotional functioning 8 and include features such as loneliness, affiliation, and perceived social disability,…”

ObjectiveAdaptive social functioning is severely impeded in depressive and anxiety disorders, even after remission. However, a comprehensive overview is still lacking.MethodUsing data from the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA), behavioural (network size, social activities, social support) and affective (loneliness, affiliation, perceived social disability) indicators of social functioning were analyzed in patients with anxiety (N = 540), depressive (N = 393), comorbid anxiety and depressive disorders (‘comorbid’, N = 748), remitted participants (N = 621), and healthy control subjects (N = 650).ResultsAnalyses revealed an increasing trend of social dysfunction among patient groups, in patients with comorbid anxiety and depressive disorders, showing the most severe impairments, followed by depressed and anxious patients (P's < 0.001 for all social functioning indicators). Affective indicators showed the largest effect sizes (Cohen's d range from 0.13 to 1.76). We also found impairments in social functioning among remitted patients. Furthermore, perceived social disability among patients was predictive of still having a depressive and/or anxiety diagnosis 2 years later (P < 0.01).ConclusionsBehavioural but especially affective indicators of social functioning are impaired in patients with anxiety or depressive disorders and most in patients with comorbid disorders. After remission of affective psychopathology, residual impairments tend to remain, while social dysfunction in patients seems predictive of future psychopathology.

“…In addition to smaller social networks, SA is associated with fewer close relationships, such as intimate friendships or romantic partnerships (e.g., Chou, Liang, & Sareen, 2011), and lower rates of marriage or marriage-like relationships (Falk Dahl & Dahl, 2010). In accordance with the relationship findings above, individuals with SA reported greater loneliness (Falk Dahl & Dahl, 2010; for review see Teo, Lerrigo, & Rogers, 2013). Loneliness can be defined as the perception that one's social needs are not being met by the quantity or especially the quality of one's social relationships (Alden, Regambal, & Plasencia, 2014).…”

The purpose of this study was to test the mediating role of loneliness in the relationship between social anxiety and subjective well-being while taking into account the multidimensionality of social anxiety. Reaching this aim was preceded by examining the psychometric properties of the Croatian translation of the SPIN on a sample of 202 students. The results show support for the one-dimensional structure of the SPIN. However, it has also been shown that several items of the inventory may be redundant and that a 2-factor structure (12 items) fits the data better. The first factor was described as "observation situations and negative evaluation", while the second represented "social avoidance and fear". The total SPIN score showed convergent and divergent construct validity as well as high levels of internal consistency and test--retest reliability. Loneliness fully mediated the relationship between social anxiety and subjective well-being. The symptoms of social anxiety that contribute to its relation with subjective well-being through loneliness are those related to the concerns of being negatively evaluated or merely observed by others when experiencing or doing something.
