The current study used the survey responses of 178 community-based clinicians to examine these competing hypotheses. The results indicated that therapist endorsement of more clearly defined imaginal exposure was significantly lower than other techniques such as cognitive restructuring, and that imaginal exposure was most often used instead of more intensive forms of exposures. In addition, most of the endorsed interventions were targeted at helping youth cope with anxiety rather than corrective learning.

Further, analysis of covariance demonstrated that the Only High Offline Social Capital profile had significantly fewer internalizing symptoms than other three profiles. No statistical differences of internalizing symptoms were found between the other three profiles, except that the Moderate Social Capital profile showed fewer anxiety symptoms than the Low Social Capital profile.
