社交焦虑的认知模型表明，对负面评价的恐惧(FNE)是这种障碍背后的中心认知维度。积极评价量表(FPES；Week，Heimberg，&Rodeaugh)的壮举。(2008)是最近开发的，以评估据称是社交焦虑症(SAD)基础的另一个认知维度，但其心理测量学特性尚未在临床人群中进行检查。本研究以133名寻求治疗的患者为研究对象，用临床样本检验了FPES的适用性。结果表明，FPES与FNE的测评有因素性差异，SAD患者(n=51)的HIE平均分高于其他焦虑症患者(n=82)。FPES在预测社交焦虑症状方面具有足够的信度(内部一致性)，良好的收敛和区分效度，可接受的标准相关效度，以及对治疗的适当敏感性。FPES似乎具有良好的心理测量学特性，是一种很有前途的新评估工具，可以更好地理解SAD。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Cognitive models of social anxiety suggest that fear of negative evaluation (FNE) is the central cognitive dimension underlying the disorder. The Feat, of Positive Evaluation Scale (FPES; Weeks, Heimberg, & Rodebaugh. 2008) was recently developed to assess an additional cognitive dimension purported to underlie social anxiety disorder (SAD), but its psychometric properties have yet to be examined in clinical populations. The present study, with 133 treatment-seeking patients, examined the applicability of the FPES with a clinical sample. Results indicated that the FPES was factorially distinct from a measure assessing FNE, and patients with SAD (n = 51) had higher mean scores on the HIES than patients with other anxiety disorders (n = 82). The FPES also showed adequate reliability (internal consistency), good convergent and discriminant validity, acceptable criterion-related validity in predicting social interaction anxiety symptoms, and appropriate sensitivity to treatment. The FPES appears to have good psychometric properties and is a promising new assessment tool for better understanding SAD. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
