项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Social anxiety disorder (i.e., social phobia) is one of the most common and debilitating psychiatric disorders, with lifetime prevalence estimates around 13% and onset peaking in early adulthood. Characterized by excessive and persistent fear of social or performance situations, social anxiety (SA) is detrimental even in subthreshold forms and is best conceptualized as a spectrum of symptoms and impairment. Theoretical models and empirical research on SA converge on several key individual-level factors in the etiology and maintenance of SA (e.g., anxious arousal and anxious apprehension regarding social contexts). However, despite the inherent interpersonal nature of SA, there is limited focus on the processes that occur within interpersonal interactions that can shape SA (e.g., how do friends use interactions with each other to regulate their own and each other's social anxiety?). To address this gap, the overarching objective of the current research is to delineate the processes within an interpersonal context that predict SA. Our central hypothesis is that emotion emotion regulation processes occurring in social interactions (i.e., individuals' and their friends' emotion regulation processes; e.g., co-rumination, suppression, reappraisal) will predict indicators of SA both in the lab and daily life. To test our hypothesis, we will recruit 140 friend dyads exhibiting a range of SA symptoms (with at least 40% meeting SA disorder threshold). In the lab, individuals will identify their most stressful ongoing problem that involves someone outside of and unrelated to the friendship and then have a conversation where one person discloses their problem for discussion. We will comprehensively assess emotion regulation strategies used during the discussion using self- and partner-reports and behavioral observations. Next, each member of the dyad will undergo a standardized social threat performance task and dyadic pre- and post-event processes will be measured. After, participants will complete 14-day diaries for the assessment of individual and interpersonal emotion regulation and naturally occurring internalizing symptoms in daily life. Indicators of SA will be assessed consistent with data-driven models and in line with NIMH's RDoC constructs of acute and potential threat, including cardiovascular (peripheral resistance) and neuroendocrine markers (salivary cortisol), behavioral codes (e.g., performance in public speaking task), and self-reports (e.g., distress). Primary indicators of SA include self-reported distress and state anxiety. Findings from the current study will build upon existing theoretical models of SA, which is crucial to laying the groundwork for developing effective SA interventions. The central significance and innovation of the current work is to examine the interpersonal mechanisms that may be shaping SA by directly examining dyadic interactions among close others. This research will advance NIMH's mission to support and conduct research on mental illnesses and by adopting a basic science approach. Finally, in line with the R15 funding mechanism, this project will provide students with significant research experience in in psychopathology, dyadic processes, and psychophysiology.

项目概要/摘要社交焦虑症（即社交恐惧症）是最常见且使人衰弱的精神疾病之一，终生患病率估计约为 13%，发病高峰在成年早期。特点是对社交或表演情境过度且持续的恐惧，社交焦虑（SA）即使在阈下形成，最好将其概念化为一系列症状和损伤。理论 SA 的模型和实证研究集中在病因学和个体层面的几个关键因素上。维持SA（例如，对社会环境的焦虑唤醒和焦虑忧虑）。然而，尽管 SA 具有固有的人际本质，但人们对 SA 内部发生的过程的关注有限。可以塑造SA的人际互动（例如，朋友如何利用彼此之间的互动来调节他们自己和彼此的社交焦虑？）。为了解决这一差距，当前的总体目标研究的目的是描述人际情境中预测 SA 的过程。我们的中心假设是社交互动（即个人及其朋友的情绪）中发生的情绪调节过程情绪调节过程；例如，共同反思、抑制、重新评估）将预测 SA 的指标在实验室和日常生活中。为了检验我们的假设，我们将招募 140 名朋友，展示一系列 SA 症状（至少 40% 达到 SA 障碍阈值）。在实验室中，个人将确定他们最持续存在的压力问题，涉及友谊之外且与友谊无关的人，然后有一个一个人透露自己的问题以供讨论的对话。我们将综合评估使用自我和伙伴报告以及行为进行讨论期间使用的情绪调节策略观察。接下来，二人组的每个成员都将接受标准化的社会威胁表现任务，并将衡量事件前和事件后的二元过程。之后，参与者将完成为期 14 天的日记评估个人和人际情绪调节以及自然发生的内化症状在日常生活中。 SA的指标将根据数据驱动模型进行评估，并符合NIMH的RDoC 急性和潜在威胁的构建，包括心血管（外周阻力）和神经内分泌标记（唾液皮质醇）、行为准则（例如，公开演讲任务的表现）和自我报告（例如，苦恼）。 SA 的主要指标包括自我报告的痛苦和状态焦虑。从目前的调查结果来看研究将建立在现有的SA理论模型之上，这对于为发展奠定基础至关重要有效的 SA 干预措施。当前工作的中心意义和创新点在于考察人际机制可能通过直接检查亲密关系之间的二元相互作用来塑造SA 其他的。这项研究将推进 NIMH 支持和开展精神疾病研究的使命，并通过采用基本的科学方法。最后，根据R15资助机制，该项目将提供在精神病理学、二元过程和心理生理学方面具有丰富研究经验的学生。
