Abstract

Judgments about the self compared to internalized standards are central to theoretical frameworks of social anxiety. Yet, empirical research on social comparisons-how people view themselves relative to others-and social anxiety is sparse. This research program examines the nature of everyday social comparisons in the context of social anxiety across 2 experience-sampling studies containing 8,396 unique entries from 273 adults. Hypotheses and analyses were preregistered with the Open Science Foundation (OSF) prior to data analysis. Study 1 was a 3-week daily diary study with undergraduates, and Study 2 was a 2-week ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study with a clinical sample of adults diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and a psychologically healthy comparison group. In both studies, social anxiety was associated with less favorable, more unstable social comparisons. In both studies, favorable social comparisons were associated with higher positive affect and lower negative affect and social anxiety. In both studies, social comparisons and momentary affect/social anxiety were more strongly linked in people with elevated trait social anxiety/SAD compared to less socially anxious participants. Participants in Study 2-even those with SAD-made more favorable social comparisons when they were with other people than when alone. Taken together, results suggest that social anxiety is associated with unfavorable, unstable self-views that are linked to compromised well-being.

日常生活中的社会比较和社会焦虑:一种经验抽样方法。
与内化标准相比,对自我的判断是社交焦虑理论框架的核心。然而,关于社会比较——人们如何看待自己与他人之间的关系——以及社交焦虑的实证研究却很少。本研究项目通过两项经验抽样研究,包括273名成年人的8396个独特条目,研究了社交焦虑背景下日常社会比较的本质。在数据分析之前,假设和分析在开放科学基金会(OSF)预先注册。研究1是一项为期3周的大学生每日日记研究,研究2是一项为期2周的生态瞬时评估(EMA)研究,研究对象是诊断为社交焦虑障碍(SAD)的成年人临床样本和心理健康对照组。在这两项研究中,社交焦虑都与不太有利、更不稳定的社会比较有关。在两项研究中,有利的社会比较与较高的积极情绪和较低的消极情绪和社交焦虑有关。在这两项研究中,与社交焦虑程度较低的参与者相比,社交焦虑/SAD特质较高的人群中,社会比较和瞬间情感/社交焦虑的联系更为紧密。研究2中的参与者——即使是那些患有sad的人——在与他人在一起时比独自一人时更容易进行有利的社会比较。综上所述,研究结果表明,社交焦虑与不利的、不稳定的自我观点有关,而自我观点又与健康受损有关。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA,版权所有)。
