社交焦虑的人注意力系统出现故障。然而，尚不确定注意力系统的故障是针对社会刺激的特定领域过程还是针对非社会刺激的一般领域过程。因此，我们使用空间斯特鲁普范式研究了社交焦虑对注意力过程领域特异性的影响。我们对总共 153 名男女大学生（实验 1 61 名学生，实验 2 92 名学生）进行了两项相同的实验，其中使用特定仪器评估社交焦虑水平。结果表明，社交焦虑得分与社交刺激的反向空间斯特鲁普效应呈负相关，但与非社交刺激无关（实验1）。第一个实验的结果在实验 2 中得到了成功的复制。我们的结果表明，注意力系统的故障是社交焦虑个体面对社交威胁刺激的特定领域过程。
Socially anxious people have a malfunction in attentional systems. However, it is uncertain whether the malfunction of the attentional system is a domain-specific process to social stimuli or a domain-general process to non-social stimuli. Therefore, we investigated the effects of social anxiety on the domain specificity of the attentional process using a spatial Stroop paradigm. We conducted two identical experiments with a total of 153 university students including men and women (61 students in Experiment 1 and 92 students in Experiment 2), in which the levels of social anxiety were assessed using specific instruments. The results showed that social anxiety scores were negatively correlated with the reversed spatial Stroop effect for social stimuli, but not for non-social stimuli (Experiment 1). The findings of the first experiment were successfully replicated in Experiment 2. Our results suggested that the malfunction of the attentional system is a domain-specific process to socially threatening stimuli in socially anxious individuals.
