Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of cognitive-behavioral group intervention on social anxiety of freshmen in higher vocational colleges and the mediating role of negative automatic thinking.Methods:Eighty freshmen with high social anxiety were recruited and randomly assigned to the cognitive-behavioral group interven-tion group(CBGT group)and the waiting control group.The CBGT group received cognitive behavioral group in-tervention for 8 weeks and waited for the control group to do no intervention during this period.The Interaction Anxiety Inventory(IAS),Negative Evaluation Fear Scale(FNE),Social Avoidance and Distress Scale(SAD),and Automatic Thinking Questionnaire(ATQ)were used to evaluate the two groups at baseline,after 4 weeks of inter-vention,after 8 weeks of intervention,and at 3 months of follow-up.Results:The results of repeated measurement ANOVA showed that the interaction of each variable group and measurement time point had statistical significance(Ps＜0.05).The results of simple effect analysis showed that the scores of each index were lower in the CBGT group than in the waiting control group from the beginning of the intervention(Ps＜0.05).The mediating effect a-nalysis showed that the improvement of negative automatic thinking mediated the immediate and long-term changes in the group and the negative evaluation of fear symptoms(IE=-0.81,95％CI=-1.33--0.12).Conclusion:Cognitive behavioral group intervention could improve the social anxiety symptoms of freshmen in higher vocational colleges,and the improvement of negative automatic thinking is an important intermediary factor to reduce the fear symptoms of negative evaluation.
