“…In the social anxiety literature, fear of negative evaluation is understood as a cognitive vulnerability for, or core feature of, social anxiety (Haikal & Hong, 2010; Heimberg, Brozovich, & Rapee, 2012). Heimberg et al (2012) outline a model in which social anxiety stems from heightened fear of negative evaluation in social situations that have the potential for the individual to be evaluated (e.g., giving a speech).…”

“…Heimberg et al (2012) outline a model in which social anxiety stems from heightened fear of negative evaluation in social situations that have the potential for the individual to be evaluated (e.g., giving a speech). Indeed, multiple studies suggest that individuals high in fear of negative evaluation are likely to feel and exhibit more anxiety when in a social evaluative situation (e.g., Haikal & Hong, 2010). Fear of negative evaluation has also been linked to disordered eating attitudes and behaviors.…”

Negative Social-Evaluative Fears Produce Social Anxiety, Food Intake, and Body Dissatisfaction

Social anxiety and eating disorders are highly comorbid, suggesting there are shared vulnerabilities that underlie the development of these disorders. Two proposed vulnerabilities are fear of negative evaluation and social appearance anxiety (i.e., fear of negative evaluation regarding one's appearance). In the current experimental study (N=160 women) we measured these fears: (a) through a manipulation comparing fear conditions, (b) with trait fears, and (c) state fears. Results indicated that participants in the fear of negative evaluation condition increased food consumption, whereas participants in the social appearance anxiety condition and high in trait social appearance anxiety experienced the highest amounts of body dissatisfaction. Participants in the fear of evaluation and social appearance anxiety conditions experienced elevated social anxiety. These results support the idea that negative evaluation fears are shared vulnerabilities for eating and social anxiety disorders, but that the way these variables exert their effects may lead to disorder specific behaviors.

“…In a study of SAD, Haikal and Hong demonstrated that FNE and looming cognitive style (LCS -the feeling of rapidly intensifying threat) interact with socially demanding situations to give rise to anxiety symptoms [52]. SAD also seems to be associated with the negative interpretation of positive social events, more so than panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, and GAD, but comparable to OCD [53].…”

Advances have clearly been made in the elucidation of the cognitive functioning associated with anxiety disorders. It remains unclear if particular cognitive profiles can help to distinguish anxiety disorders from one another, although emerging evidence suggests this may be the case. Further clarification will add to our understanding of the development and maintenance of these disorders, and may provide targets for future therapy and endophenotypes.

“…Instead, past studies of looming vulnerability to social threat have all been conducted using college students (Brown & Stopa, 2008;Haikal & Hong, 2010). These studies found that looming vulnerability for social threat was significantly and independently associated with social anxiety after controlling for fear of negative evaluation and trait anxiety.…”
