This procedure has met with mixed results andmany questions remain. Aims: The findings from two investigations are reported here, highlighting important domains for furthering our understanding of DCS effects.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHOD\u0000Study 1 (n = 16) treated social anxiety among a sample of emerging adults, and in addition to self-report utilized a behavioral measure of symptom improvement to evaluate outcomes. Study 2 (n = 16), utilizing a similar design, introduced an algorithm based post-session administration strategy following sessions where anxiety reductions were evident. Both investigations were double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized trials with participants diagnosed with social anxiety. Treatment was an exposure-based CBT-protocol adopted in other investigations that tested DCS.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Findings of Study 1 yielded an interaction effect in favor of DCS for self-reported distress ratings (p=.02) and on a behavioral measure of anxiety (p=.01). Findings from Study 2 revealed a significant effect for self-reported subjective distress ratings (p=.002).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Although limitations of small sample size constrain generalization and limit power, results illustrate some beneficial effects of DCS within the context of exposure-based intervention for social anxiety, yet are discussed in the context of statistical vs. clinical significance and the DCS literature as a whole. Present findings highlight the potential usefulness of a post-session administration strategy and the behavioral measure for future efforts with an eye towards preventing bias through more nuanced and powered studies.","PeriodicalId":72345,"journal":{"name":"Behavior analysis (Washington, D.C.)","volume":"101 1","pages":"123-134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80918719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
