Previous studies have examined the relationship between executive functions and performance on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) tasks, such as cognitive restructuring. However, previous studies have used samples of older adults and only traditional measures of executive functions involving non‐emotional stimuli. This study extends previous research to examine the specific executive function of shifting with regard to non‐emotional and emotional stimuli and its relationship with cognitive restructuring, in a sample of young to middle‐aged adults with elevated social anxiety.
