Social anxiety and withdrawal

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Social anxiety, social withdrawal, and social skills are intertwined, but distinct, constructs that can mutually and independently have a significant impact on social functioning. Comprehensive definitions and descriptions of social skills are provided elsewhere in this volume; however, social anxiety is defined as a fear of negative evaluation by others and low self-confidence when performing or interacting in social situations (Rapee & Heimberg, 1997). In addition, social anxiety may be linked with poorer social-cognitive functioning, such as understanding the mental states of others in social interactions or assuming negative outcomes of social behaviors (Banerjee & Henderson, 2001; Rapee & Spence, 2004).
