The current study tested for altered temporal decision dynamics in patients with anxiety disorders compared to matched healthy controls in a task where avoiding an aversive stimulus conflicted with obtaining rewards. Participants chose repeatedly between a fixed safe/low reward and a threat/high reward option with varying threat (probability of an aversive stimulus presentation) and reward information (reward magnitude). Structured computer mouse movements required for choosing between options were tracked to capture the temporal dynamics of the decision process (i.e., when and how strongly threat and reward information influenced decision preference). The current study replicated elevated costly threat avoidance in patients with anxiety disorders compared to matched controls. Importantly, time-continuous multiple regression of mouse movements revealed altered temporal dynamics: patients showed a faster (but not stronger) impact of threat and a weaker impact of competing rewards. These findings highlight that not only biases in threat processes but also competing rewards may guide excessive avoidance and could be important treatment targets in anxiety disorders.

Therefore, the fear of negative evaluation by others, along with its associated consequence of social anxiety, appears to be evolutionarily adaptive. Numerous studies have demonstrated that social anxiety, as well as its clinical manifestation, social anxiety disorder (SAD), is not only linked to an intense fear of negative evaluation but also to a fear of positive evaluation. This phenomenon has been termed the Bivalent Fear of Evaluation (BFOE) model of social anxiety. While the fear of negative evaluation can be understood from an evolutionary standpoint, the fear of positive evaluation poses a challenge for such an account. Clarifying the relationship between these two fears—positive and negative evaluation—may provide new insights into the nature of social anxiety and SAD. After summarizing and reviewing studies comprising this special issue, I will conclude that any form of evaluative feedback rising self-focused attention—whether positive, negative, or even neutral—can cause distress due to heightened sensitivity to social feedback in general. However, different mechanisms and contextual factors are implicated. In line with cognitive models of SAD, the self and self-perception are central to both social anxiety and SAD.
