本研究采用短期前瞻性设计，探讨社交焦虑对积极情绪的预测作用。我们研究了社交焦虑对积极情绪的影响是否受到公开表达或压抑情绪的倾向的调节。在3个月的时间间隔内，过度社交焦虑的人认可了稳定，低水平的积极情绪。此外，社交焦虑低的人经常公开表达他们的情绪，无论是消极的还是积极的，积极情绪的增加最大。当使用情绪抑制措施时，也发现了类似的结果（低社交焦虑和较少依赖这些类型的调节行为的倾向导致了最大的积极情绪）。这些社交焦虑的主要和交互作用不能归因于抑郁症状。我们的研究结果表明，随着时间的推移，社交焦虑和积极的情绪体验之间的关系最好在有意义的个体差异，如影响调节策略的背景下理解。
The purpose of the present study was to examine social anxiety as a predictor of positive emotions using a short-term prospective design. We examined whether the effects of social anxiety on positive emotions are moderated by tendencies to openly express or supress emotions. Over the course of a 3-month interval, people with excessive social anxiety endorsed stable, low levels of positive emotions. In addition, people with low social anxiety who frequently display their emotions openly, whether negative or positive, reported the greatest increases in positive emotions. Similar results were found when using a measure of emotion suppression (low social anxiety and less tendency to rely on these types of regulatory acts led to the greatest positive emotions). These social anxiety main and interactive effects could not be attributed to depressive symptoms. Our findings suggest that relations between social anxiety and positive emotional experiences over time are best understood in the context of meaningful individual differences such as affect regulatory strategies.
