“…The presence of SAD during adolescence increases the risk of other comorbid disorders developing (Costello, Mustillo, Erkanli, Keeler, & Angold, 2003). In addition, social anxiety symptoms or SAD in adolescence are associated with impairments in academic (e.g., Blöte, Miers, Heyne, & Westenberg, 2015) and social functioning (e.g., Blöte & Westenberg, 2007;La Greca & Lopez, 1998).…”

Background and Objectives: Interpretation bias (IB), defined as the tendency to interpret ambiguous social situations in a threatening manner, has increasingly been studied in children and adolescents. Compared to Western samples, the relation between IB and social anxiety in Chinese youth has received little attention. The present study was to mainly examine the relationship between IB and social anxiety among Chinese adolescents. Design: Cross-sectional design was utilized. Methods: IB, measured by the Adolescents' Interpretation Bias Questionnaire (AIBQ), and social anxiety were surveyed among a group of high socially anxious Chinese adolescents (n = 25) and a control group (n = 29). Participants were asked to rate the likelihood of interpretations coming to mind in social/non-social situations and to choose the most believable interpretation. Results: The high social anxiety group had more negative interpretations and beliefs in social situations, and the interpretation bias was particular to social anxiety versus depression. Additionally, the cognitive contentspecificity hypothesis was supported; the high anxious group showed interpretation bias in social situations, but didn't have more negative interpretations of non-social situations, after controlling for depression. Conclusions: The present study yielded comparable findings as found in Western samples regarding the relation between IB and social anxiety.

“…Despite this, SAD is under-recognized and undertreated, in part due to it being underestimated by parents and teachers. Accurate detection and diagnosis are needed for adequate treatment (Ranta et al, 2015). Assessment approaches that incorporate reports from multiple informants have the potential to measure important variations in youths' symptom presentations, such as when they experience concerns in some social contexts not but others.…”

“…Assessment approaches that incorporate reports from multiple informants have the potential to measure important variations in youths' symptom presentations, such as when they experience concerns in some social contexts not but others. Significant advancements involve developing clinical procedures that integrate measures of biological processes (e.g., assessments of cardiovascular and brain responses) with traditional clinical tools (e.g., youths' responses on clinical interviews, questionnaires, and behavioral tasks) (Ranta et al, 2015). In addition, screening with short/brief measures would enhance one of the barriers to implementation of assessment protocols.…”

“…In addition, screening with short/brief measures would enhance one of the barriers to implementation of assessment protocols. School is also a place where young people can be easily reached for screening and implementing mental health promotion and protection programs (Ranta et al, 2015). Segrin, McNelis, and Swiatkowski (2016) suggested that the social skills deficit vulnerability model predicts that poor social skills minimize opportunities to acquire social support, in turn, leading to the proliferation of psychological distress.…”

Background: The term "depression" is often misused as the term "distress" without knowing that the term "depression" is a clinical term and a person cannot be in a depressed state unless diagnosed by a doctor or a psychiatrist. This study will enable the general public to know and notice the indications being displayed by the distressed subjects, and may be able to prevent anything drastic from happening. Methods: The study makes use of the qualitative phenomenological research design, wherein it focused on an individual's experiences, beliefs, and perceptions. The study is based on the central question: "How do SHS students cope with their distress on certain situations?". The data was collected through the process of a semistructured interview containing twenty-five developmental questions. Findings: Findings show the participants' various situations that caused them distress, triggered by unwanted and disappointing or frustrating events. Conclusions: Fisher (2015) cited that adolescence is a complex developmental stage where individuals develop an increasingly sophisticated conceptual framework for their own emotional experiences. Recommendations: This paper suggests a more broadened research on this topic and must refrain from medical-based research and more of emotional and psychological approach on this matter, wherein it is understood by readers of a wider knowledge background.

“…La ansiedad social es definida como un temor desproporcionado a las situaciones que implican interacción social o en las que la persona se siente evaluada o sometida al escrutinio público (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Este temor lleva a evitar las situaciones sociales o a soportarlas con extrema ansiedad, llegando a producir un deterioro significativo en distintas áreas del funcionamiento que afecta de manera negativa a la calidad de vida de las personas que la padecen (Ranta, La Greca, Garcia-Lopez y Marttunen, 2015).…”
