“…Higher scores arose when the women's abuse included actual or attempted intercourse, occurred early in life, frequently, and involved psychological pressure. This result confi rmed previous studies that linked early sexual abuse and SP, particularly in women (Magee 1999;Dinwiddie et al 2000). Research also correlated physical abuse with later development of phobia anxiety disorders, such as SAD (Magee 1999).…”

“…This result confi rmed previous studies that linked early sexual abuse and SP, particularly in women (Magee 1999;Dinwiddie et al 2000). Research also correlated physical abuse with later development of phobia anxiety disorders, such as SAD (Magee 1999). However, this relation was considerably less signifi cant, and results connected panic disorder more closely with physical abuse (Stein et al 1996;Safren et al 2002).…”

“…In several studies, gender based interactions were associated with sexual abuse and prediction of SAD, where signifi cantly more female victims were likely to develop this disorder than males (Magee 1999;Dinwiddie et al 2000;Chartier et al 2001;Freerick and Snow 2005). Another study found gender composition of the parent-child dyad linked negative parenting factors to the development of internalizing problems; fathers had a greater impact on symptoms in boys as opposed to girls, and the opposite was true for the mothers (Roelofs et al 2006, see attachment and parenting section above).…”

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a debilitating and chronic illness characterized by persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations, with a relatively high lifetime prevalence of 7% to 13% in the general population. Although the last two decades have witnessed enormous growth in the study of biological and dispositional factors underlying SAD, comparatively little attention has been directed towards environmental factors in SAD, even though there has been much ongoing work in the area. In this paper, we provide a recent review and critique of proposed environmental risk factors for SAD, focusing on traditional as well as some understudied and overlooked environmental risk factors: parenting and family environment, adverse life events, cultural and societal factors, and gender roles. We also discuss the need for research design improvements and considerations for future directions.

“…Furthermore, there was a relationship between sexual and physical abuse experienced in childhood and adult PTSD [11]. Sexual abuse in childhood has also been established to be a risk factor for the development of SAD [18] and PTSD [12,13,15,16] in adulthood. In a study of women from an American cohort, childhood sexual abuse occurred in approximately 10% of women diagnosed with PTSD [17].…”

“…Also, Prigerson et al in 1996 found that psychological abuse and parental loss were risk factors for the development of adult psychiatric disorders [5]. In SAD [9] and PTSD [10], childhood traumas include physical abuse [11][12][13], sexual abuse [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and emotional abuse [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Background: The early contributions of childhood trauma (emotional, physical, sexual, and general) have been hypothesized to play a significant role in the development of anxiety disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD). The aim of this study was to assess childhood trauma differences between PTSD and SAD patients and healthy controls, as measured by the Early Trauma Inventory.

ABSTRACTBackground: Identifying individuals at risk for mental health problems after a disaster often involves assessing potentially traumatic exposures inherent to the disaster. Survivors of disasters also may have been exposed, both before and during the event, to trauma not directly related to the disaster. A substantial literature suggests exposure to interpersonal violence may have more severe negative outcomes than exposure to non-violent events; however, it is unclear whether violent vs nonviolent exposures before and during a disaster have differential effects on postdisaster psychological functioning.Methods: We examined the associations of violent and nonviolent exposures before and during Hurricane Katrina with postdisaster psychological functioning in a sample of male military veterans.Results: Violent and nonviolent exposures post-Hurricane Katrina as well as pre-Katrina violent exposures were significantly associated with symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, panic, and generalized anxiety disorder more than 2 years after the storm. Moreover, veterans who reported violent exposures pre-Katrina were more than 4 times more likely to have reexperienced interpersonal violence during Katrina than those who did not report such exposures.Conclusions: Results suggest assessing disaster-specific experiences in addition to predisaster interpersonal violence may be important for identifying and triaging individuals at risk for postdisaster mental health problems.(Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2011;5:S227-S234)
