Abstract

Purpose

We evaluated whether recalling personal achievements would result in an increase in feelings of pride, and if so, whether social anxiety (SA) moderated this relationship.

Methods

Community samples were recruited in 2022 via the online platform Prolific. On average, participants in both studies were aged 32–33, had some post-secondary education, were married/cohabitating and self-identified as White (60%), Asian (10%) or Black (7%). Participants completed measures of state pride and affect before and after different types of writing tasks. Study 1 participants (N = 398) recalled and wrote about either one or three personal achievement experiences. To control for the general effects of self-reflection, Study 2 participants (N = 396) wrote about either achievement or non-achievement-oriented events.

Results

Mixed-model Time X Condition ANCOVAs were conducted with pride as the dependent variable and social anxiety as covariate. Both studies revealed significant increases in pride and positive affect following recall of achievement events, and (Study 2) no significant change following recall of non-achievement events. SA had no significant effect on change in pride, suggesting that SA did not suppress the benefits of achievement recall.

Conclusions

Facilitating recall of personal achievements may help to heighten pride and positive affect regardless of social anxiety level. The results support further research on the role of pride in social anxiety.

Due to an absence of previous work, we selected a medium effect to compute sample size, assuming that a moderate size change would be necessary to be of any clinical relevance.

This is a common procedure in studies of social anxiety.

A regression analysis using the non-transformed DASS-21 produced the same results. The data presented are based on the square root-transformed DASS-21.

The analysis was repeated adding the DASS-21 as a second covariate along with the LSAS. The results indicated that inclusion of the DASS-21 did not affect the results.
