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

本研究从以下三个方面探讨了非面对面交流与社交焦虑认知偏差的关系。（1）社交焦虑与非面对面交流本研究旨在探讨社交焦虑与移动的手机非面对面交流的关系。结果发现，高社交焦虑和低社交技能的个体倾向于使用移动的电话邮件，这是一种nFTF通信工具。这种倾向在与难相处的人交流时尤为明显。这一结果可能是通过使用移动的电话来避免威胁性的人际关系来解释的。（2）人际交往中对非言语信息的认知偏差本研究旨在探讨社交焦虑对非言语信息（如他人的动作）的认知和理解的影响。虽然在对他人动作的觉察上没有显著差异，但高社交焦虑者对他人动作的评价是消极的，并将其归因于自己。他们倾向于避免可见的非语言信息，如其他人的动作。（3）社交焦虑和抑郁中的自我关注和沉思社交焦虑中的自我关注和抑郁中的沉思被认为具有许多相似之处。本研究旨在从临床功能的角度探讨自我关注与沉思的关系。自我关注与反刍呈显著正相关。此外，由于自我关注和反刍都与社交焦虑和反刍呈正相关，因此自我关注和反刍被认为具有相似的功能。

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.
