대인불안에서의 인지적 특성 = Connitive Characteristics in Social Anxiety

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Social anxiety is obviously an important issue affecting many people. But it has been relatively neglected for many years and research has been scattered across different disciplines. I accept the definition of social anxiety conceiving as anxiety resulting form the prospect or presence of personal evaluation in real or imagined social situations. Recently many researchers emphasize that inappropriate cognitions are antecedents of social anxiety. Typical cognitive characterisics in social anxiety are as follows : excessive public self-consciousness, low self-presentation outcome expectancies. negative attributional styles, and negative self-statement or thinking. I review studies that investigate cognitive characteristics in social anxiety and suggest issues in social anxiety as follows. First, there must be concensus on the meaning of the term "social anxiety" versus "shyness". Second, the hypothesis that motivation to impress to others is antecedent of social anxiety should be testified. Third, researchers should investigate whether the dominance schema priming the individual to appraise social reality as structured in terms of dominance hierarchies is antecedent of social anxiety. Fourth, whether socially anxious people have negatively distorted cognitions or lack positively biased cognitions should be studied. And last, research discriminating cognitions in social anxiety and cognitions in depression should be performed.
