Mediators of the relationship between social anxiety and post-event rumination

The Impact of Perceived Standards on State Anxiety, Appraisal Processes, and Negative Pre- and Post-event Rumination in Social Anxiety Disorder

“…Thus it is possible that self-appraisal of performance has more influence on post-event rumination when threat appraisal processes are not accounted for, and that threat appraisal, while sharing substantial variance with performance appraisal better accounts for unique variance in negative post-event rumination, at least when uncertain negative outcomes await confirmation (e.g., negative rater feedback). Chen et al (2013) failed to find threat appraisal to be a significant predictor of post-event rumination. Despite moderate to strong bivariate correlations between threat appraisal and negative post-event rumination, threat appraisal did not predict post-event rumination in their final model.…”

“…Few studies have investigated the relationships between cognitive processes, negative rumination, and SAD comprehensively (Chen et al 2013), particularly in regards to factors such as threat appraisal and self-efficacy (Rapee and Abbott 2007).…”

“…Recent research indicates that self-appraisals of performance are the most likely unique predictor of post-event rumination within clinical samples of SAD participants (Abbott and Rapee 2004;Chen et al 2013;Perini et al 2006;Zou and Abbott 2012). Abbott and Rapee (2004) asked participants to complete a 3-min speech and a measure of performance self-appraisal (Performance Questionnaire; Rapee and Lim 1992) 1 week prior to assessing negative rumination (Thoughts Questionnaire; Abbott and Rapee 2004;Edwards et al 2003).…”

“…Similarly, Chen et al (2013) employed structural equation modelling and identified two primary pathways that predicted relationships with negative post-event rumination. The first pathway showing that trait social anxiety is directly related to negative post-event rumination, and a second pathway whereby negative self-appraisals of performance and selffocused attention mediated the relationship between trait social anxiety and negative rumination, again indicating the importance of self-appraisals of performance in understanding the rumination process (Chen et al 2013).…”

“…Nesse processo a situação é revista de maneira detalhada, repensando sobre todos os aspectos negativos, sobre seu desempenho e sobre os possíveis desfechos. Esse processo faz com que as crenças negativas e os esquemas desadaptativos sejam reforçados e consolidados (Chen, Rapee, & Abbott, 2013).…”
