认知理论认为，适应不良认知在社交焦虑障碍的形成和维持中起着重要作用。社会思想和信念量表（STABS; Turner et al. Psychol Assessment 15：384-391，2003）被开发用于评估临床样本中与社交焦虑相关的广泛认知领域。本研究以469名大学生为被试，采用非临床样本检验了STABS的适用性及其与社交焦虑症状和人际功能指标的关系。STABS量表表现出良好的信度（内部一致性），足够的收敛和区分效度，并接受并发和增量并发效度预测社会交往焦虑或人际功能的结果。STABS似乎具有良好的心理测量特性，测量两个维度，评估社会比较的想法和社会无能的想法，似乎是适合用于非临床样本。
Cognitive theorists maintain that maladaptive cognitions play an important role in the formation and maintenance of social anxiety disorder. The Social Thoughts and Beliefs Scale (STABS; Turner et al. Psychol Assessment 15:384-391, 2003) was developed to assess the broad domain of cognitions associated with social anxiety in a clinical sample. The present study with 469 college students examined the applicability of the STABS with a non-clinical sample and its relation with social anxiety symptoms and indices of interpersonal functioning. The STABS scales showed good reliability (internal consistency), adequate convergent and discriminant validity, and acceptable concurrent and incremental concurrent validity in predicting social interaction anxiety or outcomes of interpersonal functioning. The STABS appears to have good psychometric properties measuring two dimensions, assessing thoughts of social comparisons and thoughts of social ineptness, and appears to be appropriate for use with non-clinical samples.
