Abstract

Cognitive approaches to social anxiety focus on a person's tendency to make biased judgments for threat-relevant stimuli. This notion was tested relative to whether men's adherence to a toughness male role norm moderates the relation between social anxiety and biased judgments for negative interpersonal events. For negative interpersonal events not involving male role norms, results indicated that only social anxiety was related to probability estimates, while for cost estimates there was a unique association for social anxiety and a significant social anxiety by toughness interaction such that men who were high in both made greater cost estimates. For events involving explicit male role norms, social anxiety and toughness evidenced unique relationships with probability estimates. For cost estimates, in addition to unique associations for social anxiety and toughness, there was a significant interaction, which showed that men high in both characteristics gave the highest cost ratings.
