TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Shame-related social anxiety: Replicating a link with various social interaction measures JO - Anxiety, stress, and coping A1 - Lutwak, Nita A1 - Ferrari, Joseph R. SP - 335 EP - 340 VL - 10 IS - 4 N2 - Abstract In the present study, 182 young adults (131 men, 51 men: M age=20.2) completed self-report measures of shame and social avoidance/distress, anxiety, desirability, and negative social evaluation. Results supported Lewis (1985) in that shame-proneness was related to social avoidance/distress, interaction anxiety, and fear of negative social evaluation (even when controlling for social desirability). Social distress/avoidance and interaction anxiety also were significant predictors of shame-proneness. Results suggeste that attention to social anxiety may be valuable in the treatment of shameprone individuals.
