Aims\n\nThe overall goal of this research is to elucidate the neural bases of two specific forms of emotion regulation - cognitive regulation (CR) and attention regulation (AR). CR and AR are thought to be important mechanisms underlying therapeutic change associated with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for generalized Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). We seek to test whether changes in CR and AR underlie the therapeutic effects of CBT and MBSR, which have been shown in the clinical science literature to be effective treatments for SAD. We will examine CR and AR in healthy controls (HCs) and in participants with generalized SAD at baseline, as well as in participants with SAD after they have completed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with three treatment arms: CBT, MBSR, or Waitlist (WL). This work will address 3 aims: Aim 1 will examine the efficacy of CR and AR in individuals with SAD versus HCs; Aim 2 will investigate the immediate and longer-term impact of CBT versus MBSR for SAD; and Aim 3 will examine treatment-related changes in CR and AR and test whether these changes mediate the effects of CBT versus MBSR. The broad, long-term objective of this research is to contribute to advances in clinical interventions targeting individuals suffering from SAD, as well as a wide range of other anxiety and mood disorders.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '55 Years', 'minimumAge': '21 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Clinically diagnosable social anxiety disorder (generalized subtype per DSM-IV-TR criteria)\n* aged 21-55\n* working fluency in English\n* residence in the Bay Area.\n* eligible for fMRI scans (right-handed, no metal in body, etc.)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* left-handed\n* Medication use in the last 3 months\n* Pervasive developmental disability\n* acute suicide potential\n* inability to travel to the treatment site\n* schizophrenia or other psychotic disorder\n* history of bipolar disorder\n* current primary Major Depression\n* current substance dependence\n* Comorbid diagnoses of Major Depressive or other mood or anxiety disorders are acceptable ONLY if clearly secondary to the diagnosis of social anxiety disorder.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02036658', 'briefTitle': 'Emotion Regulation During RCT of CBT vs. MBSR for Social Anxiety Disorder', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Stanford University'}, 'officialTitle': 'fMRI of Emotion Regulation During RCT of CBT vs. MBSR for Social Anxiety Disorder', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CBT-MBSR 10521038'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'R01MH076074', 'link': 'https://reporter.nih.gov/quickSearch/R01MH076074', 'type': 'NIH'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy', 'description': 'Cognitive behavioral group therapy (CBGT) will be delivered by two Ph.D. clinical psychologists trained by Dr. Richard Heimberg to implement his CBGT for SAD (Heimberg \\& Becker, 2002).
