ABSTRACT The purpose was to develop a Japanese version of the Spontaneous Use of Imagery Scale (SUIS-J) and test its clinical utility. Undergraduate students answered the SUIS-J and the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS-J). Twenty patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) completed these scales before and after CBT. The SUISJ demonstrated acceptable internal consistency. No significant correlations were found between SUIS-J and LSAS-J. No difference was found in healthy controls and SAD. No significant increase in SUIS-J after CBT. SUIS-J scores values of Japanese were similar to Western people. Findings suggest that daily use of mental imagery is not related to SAD symptoms.

社交焦虑症中的心理意象：日语自发性意象量表（SUIS-J）的开发和临床应用

摘要目的是开发日语版的“自发使用影像量表”（SUIS-J）并测试其临床实用性。本科生回答了SUIS-J和利勃维茨社交焦虑量表（LSAS-J）。在CBT之前和之后，有20名社交焦虑症（SAD）患者完成了这些量表。SUISJ表现出可接受的内部一致性。SUIS-J和LSAS-J之间没有发现显着相关性。在健康对照和SAD中未发现差异。CBT后SUIS-J无明显增加。日本人的SUIS-J得分值与西方人相似。研究结果表明，日常使用的心理影像与SAD症状无关。
