Abstract

Introduction: Embarrassment is a social affect. Once experienced in social interactions (SIs), it can be a precursor of clinical symptoms like depersonalization and ruminative thinking. This experience sampling study investigated predictors of embarrassment in social phobia (SP), major depressive disorder (MDD), and controls. Methods: For seven days, a total of n = 165 patients (n = 47 SP, n = 118 MDD) and n = 119 controls completed five surveys per day on their smartphones. The effect of social anxiety and depression facets on embarrassment was examined in contemporaneous and time-lagged models. Results: Individuals with SP or MDD experienced more embarrassing SIs than controls. Among facets of depression, feelings of guilt, and low self-worth significantly predicted embarrassment in contemporaneous, but not in time-lagged models. Among facets of social anxiety, worries about other people's opinion and worries of saying or doing something wrong during a social interaction significantly predicted embarrassment (contemporaneous and time-lagged; all p < .05). Discussion: The study reveals important cognitive factors that accompany embarrassment in SIs and that connect social experience and clinical symptoms. Targeting these putative dysfunctions could be an important strategy in therapy. The differential patterns in SP and MDD are discussed.

社交恐惧症、严重抑郁和健康对照中日常社交互动尴尬的预测因素

简介：尴尬是一种社会影响。一旦经历了社交互动，它可能是人格解体和沉思思维等临床症状的前兆。这项经验抽样研究调查了社交恐惧症（SP）、重度抑郁障碍（MDD）和对照组尴尬的预测因素。方法：在七天的时间里，共有165名患者（n=47SP，n=118MDD）和119名对照者每天在智能手机上完成五项调查。社交焦虑和抑郁方面对尴尬的影响在同期和时滞模型中进行了检验。结果：与对照组相比，患有SP或MDD的个体经历了更多尴尬的SI。在抑郁的各个方面中，内疚感和低自我价值感在同期模型中显著预测了尴尬，但在时滞模型中没有。在社交焦虑的各个方面中，对他人意见的担忧以及对在社交互动中说或做错事的担忧显著预测了尴尬（同期和时间滞后；均p＜0.05）。讨论：该研究揭示了SI中伴随尴尬的重要认知因素，这些因素将社会经验和临床症状联系起来。针对这些假定的功能障碍可能是一种重要的治疗策略。讨论了SP和MDD中的差异模式。

期刊介绍： This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
