社交焦虑（SA）被认为部分是由于避免社交威胁而维持的，这加剧了对负面评价的恐惧。然而，评估现实环境中社交焦虑与注意力过程之间联系的研究相对较少。目前的试点研究考察了人们普遍担心的社会背景——公开演讲中的注意力模式（眼球运动）。患有一系列社交焦虑症状的参与者（N = 84）在身临其境的 360° 视频环境中发表了五分钟的即兴演讲，同时佩戴了配备眼动追踪硬件的虚拟现实耳机。我们发现了对公开演讲的恐惧与社会威胁（不感兴趣与感兴趣的听众）之间预期相互作用的证据。与预测一致，与感兴趣的观众（低社会威胁）相比，更害怕公开演讲的参与者看向不感兴趣的观众（高社会威胁）的次数更少 b = 0.418，p = 0.046，95% CI [0.008，0.829]。对演讲过程中注意力指数的分析表明，对公开演讲的恐惧与观众注视之间的相互作用仅在前三分钟内才显着。我们的研究结果为理论模型提供了支持，该理论模型表明回避社会威胁是社交焦虑的维持因素。未来的研究需要测试针对体内注意力回避的引导性注意力训练是否可以改善社交焦虑患者的临床结果。
Social anxiety (SA) is thought to be maintained in part by avoidance of social threat, which exacerbates fear of negative evaluation. Yet, relatively little research has been conducted to evaluate the connection between social anxiety and attentional processes in realistic contexts. The current pilot study examined patterns of attention (eye movements) in a commonly feared social context – public speaking. Participants (N = 84) with a range of social anxiety symptoms gave an impromptu five-minute speech in an immersive 360°-video environment, while wearing a virtual reality headset equipped with eye-tracking hardware. We found evidence for the expected interaction between fear of public speaking and social threat (uninterested vs. interested audience members). Consistent with prediction, participants with greater fear of public speaking looked fewer times at uninterested members of the audience (high social threat) compared to interested members of the audience (low social threat) b = 0.418, p = 0.046, 95% CI [0.008, 0.829]. Analyses of attentional indices over the course of the speech revealed that the interaction between fear of public speaking and gaze on audience members was only significant in the first three-minutes. Our results provide support for theoretical models implicating avoidance of social threat as a maintaining factor in social anxiety. Future research is needed to test whether guided attentional training targeting in vivo attentional avoidance may improve clinical outcomes for those presenting with social anxiety.
