“…However, clinical analogue studies found similar acceptability of exposure with and without safety behaviors (Blakey et al, 2019;Deacon, Sy, Lickel, & Nelson, 2010). Temporally intensified exposure is also unassociated with dropout (Abramowitz, Foa, & Franklin, 2003;Chase, Whitton, & Pincus, 2012;Jain et al, 2021;Pittig et al, 2021). These findings suggest that patients' acceptance of exposure may be better than expected, even within more intensive variants.…”

“…A meta-analysis showed that internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) and face-to-face CBT created similar effects in treating anxiety disorders [50]. ICBT can significantly reduce SAD symptoms, and ICBT and face-to-face CBT produce equivalent results [51,52].…”

Purpose of reviewThis review examines recent evidence that informs the treatment of anxiety-related disorders.Recent findingsIn addition to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and benzodiazepines, agomelatine has demonstrated efficacy in treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Other novel products, such as ketamine, psilocybin and cannabidiol, are in the process of gathering evidence in support of the treatment of anxiety disorders. In psychological therapy, various psychological treatments for anxiety disorders, such as mindfulness-based intervention, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy, have been tried. Still, most therapies have not proven superior to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). In very preliminary findings: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was effective in GAD; transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was effective for social anxiety disorder (SAD) and GAD and augmented exposure therapy for specific fears. Internet and mobile-based interventions have comparable efficacy to face-to-face therapy.SummaryPharmacotherapy of anxiety disorders is expanding to novel products. Despite trying other psychological therapies for anxiety disorders, most therapies were comparable to but not superior to CBT. rTMS and tDCS were also used and show early promise for GAD, but further studies are needed. Most internet or mobile app based psychological therapies were based on CBT, and some can be considered as alternatives to in-person face-to-face therapy.

“…This is necessary to be able to provide more targeted cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which is the most common treatment for people with social anxiety disorder. CBT works by changing patients’ views and attitudes toward people or situations to help them overcome their psychological challenges ( Jain et al, 2021 ). Thus, measuring social anxiety from a cognitive perspective can help understanding sufferers’ cognitive characteristics during social interaction and use these to offer personalized CBT.…”

IntroductionTo develop the Chinese version of the Social Anxiety Cognition Scale for College Students (SACS-CS) based on Hofmann’s model of social anxiety disorder and examine its reliability and validity.MethodsBased on literature analysis and structured interviews, a theoretical model was constructed and behavioral examples were collected. According to the results of participants’ and experts’ evaluations, the initial SACS-CS was developed. The study data were collected from a total of 500 valid participants, randomly divided into two samples. Sample 1 (n = 200) and sample 2 (n = 300) were considered for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), respectively. Internal reliability and validity were examined using all 500 participants, and temporal reliability was established using sample 3 (n = 70), who completed the scale again after 4 weeks.ResultsThe SACS-CS consists of 21 items, grouped under four factors: self-perception, social skills, emotional control, and cost estimation. The four-factor model fits well. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale and the four factors ranged from 0.87 to 0.96, and the test–retest reliability ranged from 0.76 to 0.84. The scores of the scale and the four factors were significantly correlated with the score of the Interaction Anxiousness Scale (r = 0.54–0.64).DiscussionThe SACS-CS possesses good reliability and validity and can be applied in the cognitive assessment of college students’ social anxiety. The scale could help people with different social anxiety disorder conditions receive more personalized interventions.
