Abstract

Post-event rumination (PER) has been seen as a key element in the persistence of social anxiety (disorder). Studies on PER-targeted intervention, e.g., cognitive restructuring (CR), has, however, received little attention in adults, not yet in youth. In addition, previous research showed that, compared to interaction, participants reported higher levels of PER after speech task. The main aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of CR targeting PER among socially anxious (Chinese) adolescents and also to compare the intervention effect between speech and interaction situations. The present study recruited a sample of 73 high socially anxious adolescents aged 12–16 years and then randomly assigned them into speech (n = 37) or interaction (n = 36) group, without control group. PER and social anxiety (SA) were measured before and after CR. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) results showed that adolescents’ PER and SA symptoms were significantly improved with intervention with moderate to high effect size. Furthermore, the decrease in PER could significantly predict the improvement of SA. However, the intervention effect showed no difference between groups. Although no control group was included, one-session CR still showed its potential to improve participants’ PER and SA. Limitations and future directions were discussed.

认知重构对社交焦虑青少年事件后反刍的影响及其情境效应

事后沉思（PER）被认为是社交焦虑（障碍）持续存在的关键因素。然而，关于PER靶向干预的研究，例如认知重构（CR），在成年人中很少受到关注，在青年中还没有受到关注。此外，先前的研究表明，与互动相比，参与者在完成言语任务后报告的PER水平更高。本研究的主要目的是调查CR在社交焦虑（中国）青少年中针对PER的效果，并比较言语和互动情况之间的干预效果。本研究招募了73名12-16岁的高度社交焦虑青少年作为样本，然后将他们随机分为言语组（n=37）或互动组（n=36），不设对照组。在CR前后测量PER和社交焦虑（SA）。协方差分析（ANCOVA）结果显示，青少年的PER和SA症状通过中等至高效果的干预得到显著改善。此外，PER的降低可以显著预测SA的改善。然而，干预效果在各组之间没有差异。尽管没有纳入对照组，但一次CR仍显示出其提高参与者PER和SA的潜力。讨论了局限性和未来方向。
