ResumoO Transtorno de Ansiedade Social (TAS) caracteriza-se por um medo persistente de situações sociais. Objetivase identificar na literatura indexada, estudos relativos à qualidade técnica de instrumentos psicométricos e experimentais sobre a avaliação dos pensamentos negativos e comportamentos de segurança associados ao TAS. Foram identificados 22 artigos, agrupados em dois conjuntos, considerando os procedimentos utilizados. No primeiro conjunto os estudos investigaram as qualidades psicométricas de instrumentos que avaliam cognições e TAS, sendo que destes, quatro abordaram versões já aferidas previamente e dois avaliaram instrumentos propostos especificamente para mensurar comportamento de segurança e pensamentos negativos. Os estudos do segundo conjunto investigaram, por meio de simulações de situações de desempenho verbal, aspectos cognitivos associados à ansiedade, destacando as variáveis auto-imagem negativa, pensamentos negativos e comportamentos de segurança associados ao aumento da ansiedade social. A análise dos estudos aponta que a identificação de comportamentos evitativos pode ser útil para a implementação de intervenções.Palavras-chave: ansiedade social; fobia social; cognição; comportamento de segurança; pensamentos negativos. AbstractSocial anxiety disorder, avoidance and safety behavior: a systematic review. Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by and intense and constant fear of social situations. The goal of this work is to identify, in indexed publications, psychometric and empirical studies on the evaluation of negative thoughts and safety behaviors associated with SAD. Twenty-two articles were located and grouped into two sets considering the type of procedure used. In the first set, studies investigated the psychometric properties of instruments that evaluate cognition and SAD, out of which four studies addressed instruments that had been previously evaluated, and two others evaluated instruments specifically proposed for measuring safety behavior and negative thoughts. The studies in the second set used simulations of verbal performance situations to investigate the cognitive aspects associated with anxiety. These studies confirmed the association of negative self-image, negative thoughts, and safety behaviors with social anxiety. The analysis of the studies reveals that identifying avoidance behaviors can be useful for implementing intervention procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
