Studies of Clinical-Social psychology for communication and social anxiety in the age of information

本研究有以下三个关于非面对面交流与社交焦虑认知偏差的研究。(1)社交焦虑与非面对面交流本研究旨在探讨社交焦虑与手机非面对面交流的关系。结果表明，高社交焦虑和低社交技能的个体倾向于通过手机使用邮件，手机是nFTF沟通的工具。这种倾向在与难以相处的人交流时表现得尤为明显。这一结果可以解释为使用手机逃避威胁人际关系的情况。(2)人际情境下对非言语信息的认知偏差。本研究旨在探讨社交焦虑对演讲中他人动作等非言语信息的认知和解读。社交高焦虑者在对他人动作的认知上没有差异，但对他人动作的评价是负面的，并将原因归咎于自己。他们倾向于避免可见的非语言信息，如他人的动作。(3)社交焦虑和抑郁中的自我关注和反刍社交焦虑中的自我关注功能被认为与抑郁中的反刍功能有许多相似之处。本研究旨在探讨自我专注与反刍在临床功能上的关系。自我关注与反刍呈正相关。此外，由于自我关注和反刍与社交焦虑和反刍均呈正相关，因此可以认为自我关注和反刍具有相似的功能。

The present study has below three studies concerning to non-Face-to-Face (nFTF) communication and cognitive bias in social anxiety.(1)social anxiety and non-Face-to-Face communicationThis study aimed to examine the relationship between social anxiety and nFTF communication by a mobile phone. According to results, individuals who are high social anxiety and low social skills tended to use mails by a mobile phone, which is a tool of the nFTF communication. This tendency was remarkable in the communication to person whom was hard to deal with. This result might be explained by avoidance by using a mobile phone from a threatening interpersonal situation.(2)cognitive bias on non-verbal information in an interpersonal situationThis study aimed to examine social anxiety on awareness and interpretations to non-verbal information such as other's movements during a speech. Although there was no difference in social anxiety on awareness to other's movements, socially high anxious person evaluated other's movements as negative and contributed their causes to themselves. They tended to avoid visible non-verbal information such as other's movements.(3)self-focus and rumination in social anxiety and depressionFunctions of self-focus in social anxiety are considered to have many similarities to those of rumination in depression. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-focus and rumination in terms of clinical functions. Self-focus showed a positive relation to rumination. Moreover, since self-focus and rumination showed positive relations to both social anxiety and rumination, self-focus and rumination is considered to have similar functions.
