Brief Summary:
Social phobia is a very common and debilitating disorder with public speaking anxiety being the most common fear Psychologists have found that treating patients for their fear of public speaking through cognitive-behavioral treatment talk-based therapy or exposure treatment where participants participate in actual public speaking sessions not only helps patients overcome this fear but also helps them overcome their more general social fears However little is known about how this change occurs during therapy This study tries to identify the factors that contribute most to successful therapy
Patients are assigned randomly like tossing a coin to 1 of 3 groups Group 1 will receive cognitive-behavioral treatment and Group 2 will receive exposure treatment Group 3 will not receive treatment Study leaders will monitor patient response to treatment through behavioral tests and assessments
An individual may be eligible for this study if heshe
Has social phobia with public speaking anxiety

Detailed Description:
The primary goal of the present study is to identify the mediators and moderators of change in the treatment of social phobia and in so doing suggest a common mechanism of action for all brief psychosocial interventions Perceived self-efficacy of social behavior negative cognitive appraisal estimated social costs and perceived emotional control will be considered as potential mediators avoidant personality disorder and the generalized subtype of social phobia will be considered as potential predictors for poor treatment outcome
Social phobia is a very prevalent and debilitating disorder with public speaking anxiety being the most common fear among socially phobic individuals Although there are a number of effective psychosocial treatments for social phobia eg cognitive-behavioral treatments and exposure therapy very little is known about the underlying mechanism of therapeutic change ie the mediators of change and the variables that are predictive of treatment outcome ie the moderators of change Furthermore it is unclear why treating individuals for their public speaking anxiety can generalize to other untreated social fears
Patients are randomly assigned to either a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment for social phobia n43 a performance-based exposure treatment for public speaking anxiety without cognitive intervention n43 or a waitlist control group n43 Clinician ratings behavioral tests cognitive assessments subjective ratings and physiological measures are employed to determine the degree of therapeutic gains in various social phobia domains The main hypothesis is that perceived emotional control will mediate treatment outcome and generality of effectiveness independent of the specific treatment condition
