社交焦虑的认知模型预测，消极的自我关注认知会增加预期社交威胁时的焦虑。为了验证这一预测，36个人被要求预测并执行一项公开演讲任务。在预期过程中，消极的自我关注的认知或放松实验诱导，而自我报告的焦虑，自主觉醒（心率，心率变异性，皮肤电导水平），和声学眨眼惊吓反应进行了评估。正如预测的那样，消极的自我为中心的认知介导的特质社交焦虑的自我报告的焦虑和心率变异性在消极的预期。此外，特质社交焦虑预测惊吓幅度增加。这些发现支持了社交焦虑认知模型的核心假设。2008爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The cognitive model of social anxiety predicts that negative self-focused cognitions increase anxiety when anticipating social threat. To test this prediction, 36 individuals were asked to anticipate and perform a public-speaking task. During anticipation, negative self-focused cognitions or relaxation were experimentally induced while self-reported anxiety, autonomic arousal (heart rate, heart rate variability, skin conductance level), and acoustic eye-blink startle response were assessed. As predicted, negative self-focused cognitions mediated the effects of trait social anxiety on self-reported anxiety and heart rate variability during negative anticipation. Furthermore, trait social anxiety predicted increased startle amplitudes. These findings support a central assumption of the cognitive model of social anxiety. 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
