在社交焦虑的研究中，通常区分社交焦虑和表现焦虑，社交焦虑量表旨在评估社交焦虑，社交恐惧量表旨在评估对他人审查的恐惧（Mattick和Clarke，1989）。通常情况下，这些量表通常一起管理，并作为更大测量的子量表处理。然而，这些工具的联合因素结构从未被检查过，因此，目前还不清楚这些量表上的项目是否实际上代表了社交焦虑的不同方面。在本研究中，验证性因素分析的汇集项目从SIAS和SPS未能充分拟合的数据。探索性因素分析得出了三个因素：（1）互动焦虑，（2）被他人观察的焦虑，（3）担心他人会注意到焦虑症状。然而，分层因素分析表明，这些因素都加载在一个更高的顺序因素，社交焦虑。一阶因素的关系，以其他措施的社会和性能的恐惧和回避进行了检查，并讨论了我们的研究结果的评估社会恐惧症的影响。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
In the study of social anxiety, it is common to differentiate between social interaction versus performance anxiety, The Social Interaction Anxiety Scale was designed to assess social interaction anxiety, and the Social Phobia Scale to assess fear of scrutiny by others (Mattick and Clarke, 1989). In common use, these scales are typically administered together and treated as subscales of a larger measure. However, the joint factor structure of these instruments has never been examined; therefore, it is unclear whether or not the items on these scales actually represent distinct aspects of social anxiety. In the present study, a confirmatory factor analysis of the pooled items from the SIAS and SPS failed to adequately fit the data. An exploratory factor analysis yielded three factors: (1) interaction anxiety, (2) anxiety about being observed by others, and (3) fear that others will notice anxiety symptoms. However, hierarchical factor analysis suggested that these factors all load on a single higher-order factor, social anxiety. Relationships of the first-order factors to other measures of social and performance fear and avoidance are examined, and implications of our findings for the assessment of social phobia are discussed.
