Abstract

Aggression is a transdiagnostic behavior that is associated with poor clinical outcomes. As such, it is important to understand factors that contribute to various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Recent research has revealed a subtype of individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) who tend to display relatively high amounts of aggression and experience more severe social anxiety and dysfunction compared to individuals in the prototypical SAD group. The current study used a status threat manipulation along with behavioral indices of aggression to examine the impact of paranoia and social anxiety symptom severity on aggression in a sample of undergraduates with social anxiety (N = 220). Analyses indicated that paranoia uniquely predicted indirect aggression whereas an interaction between social status threat, paranoia, and social anxiety severity uniquely predicted direct aggression. These findings suggest that paranoia may be a particularly important contributor to aggression among individuals with social anxiety.

偏执狂和社交焦虑:预测攻击行为
攻击行为是一种与不良临床结果相关的跨诊断行为。因此,了解导致各种攻击行为表现的因素非常重要。最近的研究发现,社交焦虑症(SAD)患者中有一种亚型,他们往往表现出相对较高的攻击性,与典型的 SAD 患者相比,他们的社交焦虑和功能障碍更为严重。本研究使用了身份威胁操纵和攻击行为指数来研究偏执狂和社交焦虑症状严重程度对社交焦虑症大学生样本(220 人)攻击行为的影响。分析表明,偏执狂是唯一预测间接攻击行为的因素,而社会地位威胁、偏执狂和社交焦虑严重程度之间的相互作用则是唯一预测直接攻击行为的因素。这些研究结果表明,偏执狂可能是导致社交焦虑症患者产生攻击行为的一个特别重要的因素。

期刊介绍: Behavior Therapy is a quarterly international journal devoted to the application of the behavioral and cognitive sciences to the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of psychopathology and related clinical problems. It is intended for mental health professionals and students from all related disciplines who wish to remain current in these areas and provides a vehicle for scientist-practitioners and clinical scientists to report the results of their original empirical research. Although the major emphasis is placed upon empirical research, methodological and theoretical papers as well as evaluative reviews of the literature will also be published. Controlled single-case designs and clinical replication series are welcome.
