ABSTRACT

Background

Although numerous self-report measures of social anxiety exist, most instruments assess symptom severity by examining the range of social situations that provoke anxiety, rather than the distress and impairment associated with social anxiety. The Ryerson Social Anxiety Scales (RSAS; Lenton-Brym, A. P., Rogojanski, J., Hood, H. K., Vorstenbosch, V., McCabe, R. E., & Antony, M. M. (2020). Development and validation of the Ryerson Social Anxiety Scales (RSAS). Anxiety, Stress, & Coping, 33(6), 642–660), a measure assessing breadth of social anxiety inducing situations and severity of associated distress and impairment, was recently developed to fill this gap. The present study is the first to investigate the psychometric properties of the RSAS in a clinical sample.

Method/Design

Participants included 110 individuals with a principal diagnosis of social anxiety disorder (SAD). A subsample of participants (n = 23) completed cognitive–behavioural group treatment (CBGT) for SAD.

Results

The RSAS demonstrated excellent internal consistency. Examination of the correlations between the RSAS and other conceptually related and distinct measures supported the convergent and discriminant validity of the RSAS. The RSAS was also sensitive to changes in severity of social anxiety following CBGT.

Conclusion

The RSAS is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the severity of SAD.

社交焦虑症患者瑞尔森社交焦虑量表的心理测量学特性

摘要

背景

尽管存在许多社交焦虑的自我报告测量方法,但大多数工具通过检查引起焦虑的社交场合的范围来评估症状的严重程度,而不是与社交焦虑相关的痛苦和损害。所述瑞尔森社交焦虑量表(RSAS;莱顿-Brym,AP,Rogojanski,J.,罩,HK,Vorstenbosch,V.,麦凯布,RE,&安东尼,MM(2020)开发和瑞尔森社交焦虑量表的验证(。 RSAS). Anxiety, Stress, & Coping , 33(6), 642–660),一种评估社交焦虑诱发情况的广度和相关痛苦和损害的严重程度的措施,最近被开发来填补这一空白。本研究首次在临床样本中研究 RSAS 的心理测量特性。

方法/设计

参与者包括 110 名主要诊断为社交焦虑症 (SAD) 的人。一部分参与者 ( n  = 23) 完成了 SAD 的认知行为组治疗 (CBGT)。

结果

RSAS 表现出极好的内部一致性。对 RSAS 与其他概念相关和不同的度量之间的相关性的检查支持了 RSAS 的收敛和区分有效性。RSAS 对 CBGT 后社交焦虑的严重程度变化也很敏感。

结论

RSAS 是评估 SAD 严重程度的可靠且有效的工具。
