Objective : The present study investigated the interpretation bias and expectation and judgemental bias of performance in socially anxious children.
Method : Children with high social anxiety (n=18) and low social anxiety (n=16) were recruited through self-report and peer nomination, Participants performed three tasks to assess for cognitive bias. The first task measured interpretation of ambiguous social situations. The second task measured expectations regarding performance in a three minute impromptu speech. The third task assessed for judgemental bias via comparison between post-speech self rating and observer rating.
Result : Children with high social anxiety did not differ significantly from low social anxiety children on the dependent measures assessing bias in interpretation, expectation and judgement. However, a significant difference was found in the judges¡¯ rating of children¡¯s performances on the speech task, with high social anxiety children obtaining significantly lower scores compared to low social anxiety children.
Conclusion : The role of cognitive biases in the development and maintenance of social anxiety in children was discussed.
