58, 7879. For example, there is evidence that the SIAS and SPS total scores correlate positively with fear of negative evaluation (Fergus et al., 2012; Kupper and Denollet, 2012; Peters et al., 2012; Le Blanc et al., 2014). The incidental sample of adolescents came from several secondary education schools across Hungary. The social interaction anxiety scale (SIAS) and the social phobia scale (SPS) assess anxiety in social interactions and fear of scrutiny by others. Parenting Styles and Internalizing Symptoms in Adolescence: A Systematic Literature Review. The external validities of the factors in the optimum model with extraversion and neuroticism were examined for only the Tasmanian sample (as the EPQ-R was not completed by the Victorian sample); and the external validities of the factors in the optimum model with BFNE-S scores was examined for only the Victorian sample as (the BFNE-S was not completed by the Tasmanian sample). As shown, the model for the Victorian sample in which BFNE-S scores were correlated with the factors of the bifactor model indicated significant and positive correlations for BFNE-S observed scores with the general factor (r = 0.70, p < 0.001) and the SPS specific factor (r = 0.12, p < 0.01). The rating scale is as follows: 0 = Not at all characteristic or true of me. Specifically, besides examining the factor structure, we investigated the reliability of the scales by conducting item-response analyses and by examining item-total correlations and internal consistency values. This was as expected. Information collected in the survey included: demographics, self-perception on school performance, relationship with teachers and peers, satisfaction with self-image, achievements, and parenting style of the mother. CAS Even those who receive treatment generally find help only 1520years after the onset of their symptoms [2]. Regarding employment status, 68.5% were employed (full-time, part-time or casual), 27% were unemployed, and the remaining participants were either on a pension or in full-time study. Equation Model. [4], The scale contains 20 items. (2000) found that three clusters of individuals with social phobia differed dimensionally along a mildmoderatesevere continuum. The correlation between the SPS and SIAS factors in the two-factor was very high at 0.81 (p < 0.001), thereby indicative of a general factor. Social Interaction Anxiety Scale. Matern Child Nurs J. https://doi.org/10.1080/16506073.2017.1338310. NOT AT ALL SLIGHTLY MODERATELY VERY EXTREMELY 1. According to Reiss and McNally (1985), fear of negative evaluation can contribute to the development of anxiety. Development of a short form social interaction anxiety (SIAS) and social phobia scale (SPS) using nonparametric item response theory: the SIAS-6 and the SPS-6.

Avoidance of counseling: psychological factors that inhibit seeking help. doi: 10.1037/met0000045, Ruscio, A. M. (2010). Psychol. On the other hand, acceptance of the situation might not be helpful to cope with this type of fear as acceptance might facilitate avoidance. The Social Interaction Anxiety Scale. Vahedi S. World Health Organization quality-of-life scale (WHOQOL-BREF): analyses of their item response theory properties based on the graded responses model. Scoring the SIAS. . Depression Anxiety. Although the SPS specific factor was associated with fear of negative evaluation, the effect size was small. It also compared the fit of this model with one-factor and two-factor oblique models. 2019;243:16574. 6. Rodebaugh et al. Vogel DL, Wester SR, Larson LM. Deros DE, Racz SJ, Lipton MF, Augenstein TM, Karp JN, Keeley LM, et al. 3, 220. This might be because social anxiety has a peak during the adolescent years [41,42,43]. All studies presented in this paper were approved by the Hungarian United Ethical Review Committee for Research in Psychology (nr. Clin Psychol Rev. Acta Psychiatr Scand. 2. Additionally, trait social anxiety has been linked to specific cognitive-affective experiences (Leary and Kowalski, 1995; Westenberg, 1998), and a number of other clinically relevant responses, such as greater heart rate reactivity and arousal (Gramer et al., 2012), higher post-interaction negative affect and attitudes about one's interaction (Shimizu et al., 2011), and poor ability to inhibit goal-irrelevant distractors thereby leading to poorer performances in highly demanding tasks (Moriya and Sugiura, 2012). Caballo VE, Salazar IC, Irurtia MJ, Arias B, Nobre L. The assessment of social anxiety through five selfreport measures, LSAS-SR, SPAI, SPIN, SPS, and SIAS: a critical analysis of their factor structure. The full versions of the SPS and SIAS have 20 items each. Regarding the clinical sample, both the SIAS-6 (McDonalds =.87) and SPS-6 (McDonalds =.88) total scores, as well as bFNE total score (McDonalds =.92), demonstrated good internal consistency in this sample. Fergus TA, Valentiner DP, Kim HS, McGrath PB. This tool is helpful in tracking social anxiety symptoms over time, and may be helpful as part of an assessment . 12. Dixon ML, Moodie CA, Goldin PR, Farb N, Heimberg RG, Gross JJ. When examined together, CFA studies have reported either good (Olivares et al., 2001; Fergus et al., 2012; Peters et al., 2012) or adequate (Heidenreich et al., 2011; Carter et al., 2014) fit for the two-factor oblique model. Epub 2011 Oct 20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2016.05.024. For the SPS specific factor 18 items showed salient loadings. Arch Gen Psychiatry. SAD may take different forms depending upon cultural norms [45, 47, 52]. Extremely characteristic or true of me. This suggests that the scales could be appropriate for use in clinical practice. 2=Moderately characteristic or true . doi: 10.1177/1073191114521279, Lubke, G. H., and Muthn, B. O. Furthermore, our results also endorse these measures as appropriate screening tools in primary care for the symptoms of SAD [22]. On the first subsample, we used correlational analyses between the questionnaires to assess the convergent (with STAI, BDI, and bFNE) and divergent (with SNAQ) validity of the SIAS-6 and SPS-6 scales. This project was supported by EFOP-3.6.1.-162016-00004 Comprehensive Development for Implementing Smart Specialization Strategies at the University of Pcs,. Psychol. As applied to the SPS and SIAS together, in a one-factor model, all the items of the SPS and SIAS load onto a single general factor (shown in Figure 1B). Mattick and Clarke's (1998) Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and Social Phobia Scale (SPS) are commonly used self-report measures that assess 2 dimensions of social anxiety. Systemic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorders With Adults: Manual Development and Randomized-Controled Feasibility Study: Study Start Date : January 2015: Actual Primary Completion Date : . 1=Slightly characteristic or true of me. Assess. Although the SIAS-6 and SPS-6 scales have satisfactory psychometric characteristics on an adolescent community sample, the IRT clearly showed that discrimination parameters are lower and the TIF curves were also flatter in adolescents compared to adults. self-blame, rumination, and catastrophizing) were associated with social anxiety. RG and SW: Conception and design of research; analysis and interpretation of data; drafting and revising manuscript; approval of final manuscript; accountability for accuracy; and integrity of work. Garnefski N, Kraaij V. Cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire - development of a short 18-item version (CERQ-short). Items are rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale with values ranging from 0 Not at all characteristic or true of me to 4 Extremely characteristic or true of me. All of the participants filled out the Hungarian language versions of the scales.Footnote 1 The process of translation and adaptation of the instruments followed the recommendations of the American Psychiatric Association [4]. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! In the original paper describing the abbreviation of the SIAS and SPS [20], the authors recommend a cutoff score of 7 or higher for the SIAS-6 and 2 or higher on the SPS-6 scales. For the SIAS, Kupper and Denollet (2012) found most support for a two-factor model, in which its 17 straightforward scored items made up one factor and the remaining three reverse scored items made up the second factor. Google Scholar. (2004). The point values of the chosen answer choices are then summed to produce a total measure score. Psychometrika 70, 123133. While the failure of emotion regulation is thought to be a key feature of SAD [36,37,38,39,40], adaptive emotion regulation can reduce distress [36, 38]. Your information is securely protected, as we keep to the most up-to-date security requirements. 2020;5(1):11929. Regarding the SIAS-6 total score, the linear regression model (F(9,400)=10.25,p<.001, adjusted R2=.17) showed that positive reappraisal negatively predicted the scores on the questionnaire (=.15, 95%CI: .70 to .10, p=.008). Behav. Bgels SM, Alden L, Beidel DC, Clark LA, Pine DS, Stein MB, et al. This is notable, as existing data indicate that dimensional scores are far more predictive of a SAD diagnosis than categorical scores (Ruscio, 2010). Shortened forms of the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and the Social Phobia Scale (SPS) were developed using nonparametric item response theory methods. From a clinical psychological point of view, the use of self-orientated affections and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies have a negative indication for mental health. Participants (N = 526) were adults from the general community who completed the SPS and SIAS. The findings here also have theoretical and clinical implications for social anxiety. Med. Department of Psychology, University of Turin, Italy. The Hungarian version of the SIAS-6 and SPS-6 scales. Am. I nd it dif cult to mix comfortably with the people I work with. Peters L, Sunderland M, Andrews G, Rapee RM, Mattick RP. 80 is the maximum number of points you can score (4x20). Change of Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 8th,15th, 20th and 26th hour of therapy; 6, 9 . Reverse the scores on items 5, 9, and 11, so a zero is worth 4 points, a 1 is worth 3 points, etc. Given these discrepant findings, it cannot be assumed the use of SPS and SIAS total scores is appropriate. Indeed, such studies have reported better fitting models, with more than one factor when the SPS and SIAS were examined separately, and with more than two factors when they are examined together (Habke et al., 1997; Safren et al., 1998; Carleton et al., 2009; Heidenreich et al., 2011; Carter et al., 2014). Additionally, Mattick and Clarke (1998) developed two scales: the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and the Social Phobia (Anxiety) Scale (SPS). J. Psychopathol. #1 Internet-trusted security seal. Depress Anxiety. However, some researchers have suggested that this number of participants is satisfactory for CFA (Brown, 2006). Third, it is possible that demographic factors such as age, sex, and ethnicity could influence ratings on the SPS and SIAS. Bull. J. Pers. 1996;34(1):339. J Anxiety Disord. (2001) found one factor for the SPS and two factors for the SIAS. >95: Very severe social anxiety. Google Scholar. One of the assumptions of the Item response theory (IRT) model we planned to use is the unidimensionality of the scales, i.e. In relation to the bifactor model, the ECV of a general factor is the common variance explained by the general factor divided by the total common variance, and the ECV of a specific factor is the common variance explained by the specific factor divided by the total common variance.
