“…The Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) was validated for the Brazilian context by Osório et al, (ALVES, 2012). It is a brief, self-applicable and easy-to-administer instrument, capable of detecting symptoms of fear, avoidance and physiological (ANGÉLICO, 2012).…”

Anxiety disorders are characterized by fear and anxiety disproportionate to the situation that triggers and persists beyond what is foreseen for the event. They cause harm to the individual due to the suffering produced, worsen the quality of life and impose social restrictions. Psychological assessment techniques can help an investigation and improve understanding of these disorders. This study aimed to investigate the instruments for anxiety assessment used in Brazil. Thus, a literature review was carried out, searching specialized textbooks, journals and indexed articles (in capes, lilacs, pubmed, mediline, scielo and academic Google) in order to describe the most used ones. At the end of this study, it was found that the instruments for assessing anxiety disorders can be divided into seven categories: The first includes instruments that assess anxiety as a global construct; the second evaluates psychiatric disorders; the third comprises instruments that assess specific anxiety disorders, taking into account symptomatic behaviors and thoughts or feelings; the fourth category covers instruments related to specific contexts, such as hospital or sports; the fifth category includes instruments for assessing specific characteristics related to anxiety, such as concern, irritability, among others; the sixth category, covers instruments for mental health assessment in general as complaints related to anxiety seen as screening and need for psychiatric care and; finally, the seventh category comprises the other instruments that did not fall into the previous categories. It was also verified that the most used tests in Brazil from 2000 to 2015 were: Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS); State Trait Anxiety Inventory (IDATE); Hamilton Anxiety Scale; Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN). These instruments are adaptations of international instruments for use in Brazil.

“…Individuals with social anxiety present sustained attention to emotionally charged images and difficulty in turning away from sources of danger (Rossignol, Campanella, Bissot, & Philippot, 2013). Social anxiety may also affect the discrimination of emotional states in others (Arrais et al, 2010;Rapee & Heimberg, 1997) and modulate the attribution of emotions to neutral faces (Alves, Rodrigues, de Souza, & Sousa, 2012). In the last study, in a forced choice task, the authors found that men attributed anger more often to neutral faces, whereas women attributed sadness more frequently compared with their respective controls (Alves et al, 2012).…”

Kolassa and Miltner (2006) found that subjects with higher scores in the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory had increased amplitude of the N170 response in the temporal-parietal region during the recognition of anger.…”

Studies indicate that people with social anxiety show changes in perception of facial emotion. Here we investigated the recognition of static and dynamic facial expressions in 2 groups varying with regard to scores on the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) and classified as having high social anxiety (HSA; SPIN Ն19; n ϭ 22) and low social anxiety (SPIN Ͻ19; n ϭ 21). Facial expressions of happiness, sadness, fear, and anger in dynamic (videos) and static (photos) conditions were presented at 4 intensities (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). For each condition, recognition means were analyzed with an ANOVA of model: 2 groups ϫ (2 conditions [static and dynamic] ϫ 4 emotions ϫ 4 intensities). We found an interaction between the factors Group, Condition, Emotion, and Intensity. Post hoc analysis indicated that the HSA group had better scores in the static face of anger with 25% of emotion compared with controls. No difference between groups was found in the dynamic condition. The analysis of the confusion matrix of judgments indicated that the advantage of the participants with social anxiety in the static condition was not explained by a general bias of attributing anger to facial expressions. The results suggest an advantage for individuals with social anxiety to recognize emotions in stimuli with less ecological validity (static faces). The use of dynamic faces may reduce or eliminate the differences between individuals with high and low social anxiety in the recognition of facial emotions.

“…For example, evidences suggested that ambiguous expressions can be interpreted as threatening stimuli by socially anxious people (Lira Yoon & Zinbarg, 2007). By using a forced-choice procedure, Alves, Rodrigues, Souza, and Sousa (2012) found that men with symptomatology related to social anxiety tend to attribute anger to neutral faces, whereas women with social anxiety tend to attribute sadness as compared to controls.…”

Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression Modulate the Recognition of Facial Emotion

et al. 2017

Previous studies have shown that depression and anxiety are associated to changes in the recognition of facial expression. In the present research, a non-clinical sample was evaluated with respect to trait and state anxiety and depression symptoms. In the experimental task, participants evaluated facial expressions of happiness, anger, sadness, and fear, presented at four intensities (25, 50, 75, and 100%), as well as the neutral face. Results showed that the trait anxiety was associated with a better recognition of anger, fear, and happiness. For depression, we only found differences between groups for emotional attribution to neutral faces, in which participants scoring high in depression were more likely to attribute fear to neutral faces. Findings indicate an improvement of the recognition of happiness, anger, and fear in trait anxiety, whereas symptoms of depression and state anxiety were associated to changes in the evaluation of neutral faces in non-clinical individuals.
