Abstract

Social anxiety is a common experience that ranges from mild, temporary distress to excessive, persistent, and impairing fear. The current study tested whether perfectionism contributes to social anxiety symptoms and post-event processing (PEP) in the context of a contract-based manipulation to shift perfectionism. The manipulation asked participants to perform everything to a specific standard level for the following 24 hrs to shift perfectionism. Participants completed measures of social anxiety and perfectionism before delivering a speech. Next, participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: High Personal Standards, High Personal Standards with Evaluative Concerns (High PS+EC), and Low Personal Standards. The following day, participants completed the same measures, including a measure on PEP related to the speech. Consistent with hypotheses, results suggest that the contract manipulation significantly altered perfectionism, such that participants in the High PS+EC condition had an increase in perfectionism over time. Contrary to expectations, the contract manipulation did not affect social anxiety symptoms or PEP. Results suggest that focusing on evaluation concerns, rather than personal standards alone, may contribute to perfectionism. It is possible that a stronger or larger dose of the manipulation is needed to see effects on social anxiety symptoms.

没有人是“完美”!操纵完美主义对社交焦虑症状的影响。
社交焦虑是一种常见的经历,从轻微的、暂时的痛苦到过度的、持续的、有害的恐惧。目前的研究测试了在基于契约的操纵下,完美主义是否会导致社交焦虑症状和事件后处理(PEP)。该操作要求参与者在接下来的24小时内按照特定的标准水平完成所有事情,以改变完美主义。参与者在发表演讲前完成了社交焦虑和完美主义的测试。接下来,参与者被随机分配到三个条件中的一个:高个人标准,高个人标准与评估关注(高PS+EC),和低个人标准。第二天,参与者完成了同样的测试,包括与演讲相关的PEP测试。与假设一致,结果表明契约操纵显著改变了完美主义,因此高PS+EC条件下的参与者随着时间的推移,完美主义有所增加。与预期相反,契约操作并未影响社交焦虑症状或PEP。结果表明,专注于评估问题,而不是个人标准,可能会导致完美主义。可能需要更强或更大剂量的操纵才能看到对社交焦虑症状的影响。

期刊介绍: This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
