For people with social anxiety, neuroticism may play a part. Here's what they can do to get more pleasure than pain from their relationships, writes swhitbo
, and neuroticism. The “Extended Post-Event Processing Questionnaire" zeroed in specifically on thoughts associated with social events.
Consistent with their predictions, after taking depression into account, social anxiety, in general, had positive relationships with negative social evaluation beliefs, internal self-focus, attention toward threat, both anticipatory and post-event processing, and the tendency to engage in safety behaviors. Additionally, however, neuroticism made its own unique contribution to social anxiety.
Thus, although people high in social anxiety certainly are at risk for negative self-evaluations after social situations, evaluations that perpetuate their anxiety, it is really the neuroticism piece of the equation that keeps their negative affect so high. As the authors concluded, “models of social anxiety disorder may need to be expanded to include the role that neuroticism plays in relation to social anxiety and its maintaining factors” .
You may think that there’s no way that such a longstanding trait as neuroticism can be tamed. After all, if it’s one of the “enduring dispositions” that make up personality, won’t it always endure? Although the Australian authors caution that their results require replication, especially with clinical samples, they believe that they have identified a new important goal of treatment. Minimally, this personality factor should be part of a clinical assessment, which is not the case now.
