Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale

This case study takes an approach to the assessment and formulation of social anxiety that makes use of Identity Structure Analysis (Weinreich, 2003) alongside ratings obtained from the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. Identity Structure Analysis uses a socio-developmental psychological approach to identity formation that places emphasis on biographical development in socio-historical settings. In doing so it offers insights into the nature of social anxiety. More particularly, ISA reveals (at various biographical stages) construals of identities of self and of the identities of influential others in various life domains (social, home, and work). It is proposed that ISA findings offer insights that might be used alongside conventional psychometrics serving as an aid to the assessment and formulation of social anxiety for the purposes of augmented CBT.

Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie Bei der Untersuchung von sozialer Ängstlichkeit haben sich die Fragebögen Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) und das Social Phobia-Inventory (SPIN) etabliert. Außerdem wird zum Screening sozialer Ängstlichkeit häufig die Subskala Unsicherheit im Sozialkontakt des Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-53) eingesetzt. Alle drei Skalen geben vor dasselbe Konstrukt zu erfassen. Somit stellt sich die Frage der Konvergenz dieser Skalen. Um Forschungsergebnisse zu sozialer Ängstlichkeit, welche diese Instrumente nutzen, über einen fragebogenübergreifenden Faktor (Common-Faktor) vergleichbar zu machen, wird in der vorliegenden Studie ein Item Response Theorie (IRT) Linking Ansatz verwendet. Methodik 64 deutschsprachige psychiatrische Patienten und 295 Probanden aus der deutschen Normalbevölkerung füllten die drei Fragebögen aus. Verschiedene IRT-Modelle – darunter Graded Response Modelle (GRM) – wurden an die Daten angepasst und verglichen. Basierend auf dem Modell mit dem besten Fit wurden Regressionsanalysen durchgeführt. Der Common-Faktor wurde dabei jeweils von den Fragebogensummenwerten vorhergesagt. Ergebnisse Der Zusammenhang zwischen den verschiedenen Skalen wird am besten durch ein Bi-Faktor GRM erklärt (RMSEA=0,036; CFI=0,977; WRMR=1,061). Anhand der Ergebnisse der Regressionsanalysen lassen sich drei Gleichungen zur Transformation von Fragebogensummenwerten ableiten. Schlussfolgerung Durch den IRT Linking Ansatz konnte ein fragebogenübergreifender genereller Faktor Sozialer Ängstlichkeit abgeleitet werden. Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede wurden dabei berücksichtigt. Dies hat sowohl für die Forschung als auch für die Praxis Vorteile. Eine Replikation dieser Studie sowie die Implementierung weiterer Instrumente wird empfohlen, um die Gültigkeit dieses Ansatzes zu überprüfen und die Ergebnisse zu generalisieren.

Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale

The current study deals with the emotional maturity and social anxiety among adolescents. One hundred and seventy subjects (Boys = 90, Girls = 80) from GRD College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore, were selected for the study. The Psychological Tests such as Case Study Schedule (Gayatridevi and Anu), Emotional Maturity Scale (Hemalatha) and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (Michael R. Liebowitz) were administered to the subjects. The data was analyzed by using SPSS + PC package for t –test was computed. The results revealed that adolescent girls experienced more social anxiety than boys (M = 66.46). Gender and family size had no significant effect on emotional maturity. There was no significant relationship found between the emotional maturity and social anxiety.

Several lines of research have established overlap between autistic and schizotypal traits but there have been limited attempts to identify variables that might explain this overlap. As both sets of traits are individually associated with social anxiety, we investigated whether social anxiety traits could explain the overlap between them. To this end, the Autism Quotient (AQ), Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire Brief-Revised (SPQ-BR) and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale-Self Report (LSAS-SR) were administered to a non-clinical population of 345 adults. Correlational analyses revealed strong, positive correlations between autistic, schizotypal, and social anxiety traits. After controlling for social anxiety, the association between total AQ and SPQ-BR scores remained modest and significant, suggesting that their association is not simply due to a shared association with social anxiety.
