“…The developmental context determines whether an individual who is predisposed to being particularly sensitive to threat will develop trait social anxiety. That is, the interaction between genetic and environmental factors produces trait social anxiety, through multiple developmental pathways (Degnan & Fox, 2007;Detweiler, Comer, Crum, & Albano, 2014;Rubin, Coplan, & Bowker, 2009;Schmidt, Polak, & Spooner, 2005). In addition, the likelihood that an individual will develop trait social anxiety will increase with each environmental factor present during development (e.g., Simon et al, 2009).…”

“…The genetic factors that are associated with trait social anxiety would be considered, from a conditional adaptation approach, to reflect individual differences in susceptibility to the social environment. From research with individuals in modern environments described in the first section of this paper, we know that an interaction between genetic and environmental factors is likely needed to produce trait social anxiety (e.g., Detweiler, Comer, Crum, & Albano, 2014). An inhibited temperament (which is associated with a highly reactive amygdala) may thus reflect a genetic predisposition for detecting and processing cues of social threat in ways that would promote the development of trait social anxiety.…”

Individuals with trait social anxiety are disposed to be wary of others. Although feeling social anxiety is unpleasant, evolutionary psychologists consider it to be an adaptation. In current models, social anxiety is described as functioning to have helped our prehistoric ancestors avoid social threat by warning individuals when their interactions with other group members were likely to be negative and motivating them to act in ways to prevent conflict or limit its damage. Thus, trait social anxiety is thought to have evolved in our species because it allowed our ancestors to preserve their relationships and maintain their positions in social hierarchies. While we agree with this conclusion drawn by existing evolutionary models, we believe that there is an important element missing in these explanations: the role that individual development has played in the evolution of trait social anxiety. We propose a new model, which argues for trait social anxiety to be considered a conditional adaptation; that is, the trait should develop as a response to cues in the early childhood environment in order to prepare individuals to face social threat in adulthood. Our evolutionary model can provide new insights into how trait social anxiety has persisted in our species and how it functions in the modern world.

“…New social demands (e.g. dates, school exhibition, romantic relationships, friends) require adolescents to show greater independence in their social interactions and this favors the onset of interpersonal anxiety and social fears in those young people who find social interaction more difficult (Detweiler, Comer, & Albano, 2010). Impairments and anxiety in social relationships are a common problem in adolescence (e.g., Chavira, Stein, Bailey, & Stein, 2004;Inglés, Martínez-Monteagudo et al, 2008) and they are related to a large problems including drug consumption (e.g.…”

“…It could be referred to as a fear of embarrassment or humiliation, rejection or criticism. This could result in the individual feeling fearful, doubtful, insecure and not good enough (Detweiler et al, 2010). Another kind of anxiety is developmental social anxiety which occurs early in life and is a stage that most children grow out of, but it may persist and grow into chronic social anxiety during their teenage years or in adulthood (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, 2013).…”

Background: The pre-analytical stage is so complex that a mistake at any step often becomes apparent in the analytical or post-analytical phase. Many medical laboratorians do not carefully evaluate the suitability of the pre-analytical challenges in laboratory testing especially in the area of washing test tubes by various forms of detergent in the washup room. Objective: This study was then aimed at the effect of different concentration of detergent solution on glucose assay in the clinical chemistry laboratory. Materials and Methods: A total of twenty (20) subjects who visited a clinic in Chemical pathology unit, Federal Medical Centre, Owo were randomly recruited for this case study. The recruited subjects were analyzed for glucose assays normally and also at a different concentration of the detergent solution. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between glucose value with no dilution and detergent stock solution while others were not significantly different from normal statistically even though there is slightly different in their mean values. Conclusion: Prevention of pre-analytical errors from detergent solution remains an ongoing problem in the wash-up room and ultimately affects the ability of clinical laboratories to produce accurate results. Therefore, it is important to establish close working relationships with laboratory attendants working in the wash-up room and also, developing a surveillance program should be considered to prevent such occurrences.
