社交焦虑和享乐活动之间的关系仍然知之甚少。从自我调节的角度来看,我们假设社交焦虑的人在无法充分管理社交焦虑情绪的日子里,会经历积极的经历和事件减少。在这项为期 21 天的经验抽样研究中,我们构建了社交焦虑和情绪调节的日常测量方法。性格性社交焦虑越大,日常生活中的积极情绪和积极事件就越少。在根据社交焦虑的全球自我报告测量得分被定义为社交焦虑的个体中,当他们社交焦虑程度较高且倾向于抑制情绪时,积极事件的数量最低;而当他们社交焦虑程度较低且更能接受情绪体验时,积极事件的数量最高。无论性格性社交焦虑如何,参与者在社交焦虑最少且最能接受情感体验的日子里报告了最强烈的积极情绪。讨论了可能的临床意义。
The relation between social anxiety and hedonic activity remains poorly understood. From a self-regulatory perspective, we hypothesized that socially anxious individuals experience diminished positive experiences and events on days when they are unable to manage socially anxious feelings adequately. In this 21-day experience-sampling study, we constructed daily measures of social anxiety and emotion regulation. Greater dispositional social anxiety was associated with less positive affect and fewer positive events in everyday life. Among individuals defined as socially anxious from their scores on a global self-report measure of social anxiety, the number of positive events was lowest on days when they both were more socially anxious and tended to suppress emotions and highest on days when they were less socially anxious and more accepting of emotional experiences. Irrespective of dispositional social anxiety, participants reported the most intense positive emotions on the days when they were both least socially anxious and most accepting of emotional experiences. Possible clinical implications are discussed.
