“…Research has indicated that 75% of individuals experience first onset by the age of 15 years (Kessler et al 2005), with rates of SAD increasing sharply after the age of nine and that peak in adolescents between 10 and 19 years (Beesdo et al 2007). Research has also found cross-cultural differences in prevalence rates; approximately 4% of Turkish adolescents were found to experience SAD (Demir et al 2013) compared with 3% of Finnish adolescents (Ranta et al 2009). Furthermore, gender differences indicate that women consistently show higher rates of social anxiety than men, both in the past 12 months (6.5% versus 4.8%; McLean et al 2011) and across the lifetime (12.3% versus 8.9%; Kessler et al 2012).…”

The Role of Peers in the Development of Social Anxiety in Adolescent Girls: A Systematic Review

Pathways to social anxiety often reflect a set of complex and interacting factors that include both intrinsic and environmental factors. Theoretical models of social anxiety have highlighted that children and adolescents' peer experiences can increase risk for social anxiety. This systematic review explored the role of peers in the development of social anxiety in adolescent girls. It aimed to identify peer-related risk factors (i.e., peer acceptance, peer attachment, friendship quality, peer support, and victimisation) that place adolescents at risk for social anxiety, and to highlight those that are specific to girls. The findings showed that while low peer acceptance was significantly associated with increased social anxiety for boys and girls, limited close friendships, negative friendship experiences and relational victimisation were highlighted as risk factors specific to girls. The review suggested that researchers might usefully start to develop frameworks that capture generic, as well as gender-specific risk for social anxiety in adolescence. These will enable the development of prevention and intervention methods to support girls at increased risk and that focus on improving the quality of peer relationships.

“…Die soziale Ängstlichkeit gehört mit einer Prävalenz von 0,5% (2), über 3,9% (3) bis zu 7% (4) zu den Störungsbildern mit sehr heterogenen Prävalenzangaben in diesem Altersspektrum. Das Verhältnis von betroffenen Jungen und Mädchen liegt in etwa bei 1:2 zum Nachteil der Mädchen (3,5). Die Störung manifestiert sich zumeist im frühen und mittleren Jugendalter (6).…”

ZusammenfassungDie Prävalenzangaben der sozialen Ängstlichkeit im Kindesalter sind sehr heterogen. Einigkeit besteht hinsichtlich der hohen Anzahl an komorbiden Störungen und der langfristigen Auswirkungen. Der aktuelle Forschungsstand zeigt, dass der Verhaltenshemmung im Kleinkindalter große Bedeutung bei der Entstehung sozialer Ängstlichkeit zukommt. Auch das Erziehungsverhalten der Eltern, wie ein überfürsorglicher Erziehungsstil, steht im Zusammenhang mit der Störungsätiologie. Es zeigt sich, dass beide Risikofaktoren interagieren. Im diagnostischen Prozess ist sowohl auf eine multimodale als auch multimethodale Erfassung der Symptome zu achten. Forschungsergebnisse zur Therapie von Angststörungen allgemein sowie zur sozialen Angst im Kindesalter werden zusammengefasst. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die kognitive Verhaltenstherapie sowie die Behandlung durch selektive Serotoninwiederaufnahmehemmer (SSRI) die größten Effekte erzielen.

“…Social Anxiety Scale for Children-Revised (SASC-R): SASC-R is a 10-item self-report measure designed by La Greca and revised to 18 items scale in 1993 [18]. The validity and reliability study of the Turkish version was carried out by Demir et al [19]. 'Fear of Negative Evaluation From Peers' and 'Social Avoidance' were evaluated via this scale.…”

OBJECTIVES: We aim to determine serum oxytocin, vasopressin levels and examine parent characteristics in children diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD). METHODS: Thirty four children diagnosed with SAD and 34 mothers were compared with a healthy control group (21 control children and their mothers) in this case-control study. Assessment performed via State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and Social Anxiety Scale for Children-Revised (SASC-R). Serum samples collected for detection of oxytocin and vasopressin levels. RESULTS: The distribution range of vasopressin levels were found statistically higher in control group than SAD group (p = 0,002). Additionally results showed no statistically significant differences according to the mean levels of serum oxytocin and vasopressin between groups. The scores of STAI-C, SASC-R and democratic attitudes/egalitarianism subscales of PARI were found significantly higher in children with SAD. Similarly we reported that mean scores of SCL-90 scale, LSAS and SCL-90 subscales were higher in mothers of patients group. CONCLUSIONS: Although significantly lower distribution range of vasopressin levels was found in SAD patients, mean oxytocin and vasopressin levels were not associated with SAD etiology. Additionally psychopathologies particularly anxious behaviour in mothers may contribute SAD development in early period of childhood.

Prevalence and Some Psychosocial Characteristics of Social Anxiety Disorder in an Urban Population of Turkish Children and Adolescents

Abstract: SAD is a relatively common disorder that is associated with lower self-concept in children and adolescents. Low paternal education, trait anxiety, and low self-concept may be the intervention targets for SAD prevention and treatment.
