Abstract

Social anxiety symptomatology is associated with disruptions in positive affect, though no study has examined deficits in responses to positive affect related to adolescent social anxiety symptoms. The present study tested whether adolescents’ self-reported and observed social anxiety symptoms were uniquely associated with specific responses to positive affect. Moreover, we examined whether adolescent gender moderated these relations. Ninety adolescents (ages 11 to 18, Mage = 14.26, SD = 2.03; girls = 62%; white = 79%) completed self-report measures, participated in a social stressor task, and engaged in two positively-valenced interaction tasks with their female caregivers. Adolescent self-reported social anxiety symptoms were not uniquely associated with responses to positive affect. However, observed social anxiety symptoms were uniquely related to greater self-reported inhibiting positive affect responses and fewer observed positive affect maximizing behaviors. These findings highlight the need to examine self-reported and observed social anxiety symptoms in understanding associated disruptions in positive affect regulation.

We attempted to code adolescent dampening responses during the interactive task, but were unable to establish adequate reliability given the considerable infrequency of these behaviors.

Although the RCADS does not separate social interaction and performance anxiety items, 3 of 9 RCADS items appear to examine performance related anxiety (e.g., taking a test, talking in front of class, and being in front of people). There was a stronger correlation between the 3-item performance related RCAD items to the PRS (r = 0.21, p = 0.05).
