The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between interpretation bias of positive social events and social anxiety, and to examine how the discrepancies of others’ standards and self-efficacy mediated those factors. The interpretation bias of positive social events has been studied in two factors, which are negative interpretation of positive events and discounting of positive events. For the purpose of examining the mediating effect of discrepancies between others’ standards and self-efficacy, 584 university students were asked to complete the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale(SIAS), Interpretation of Positive Events Scale(IPES), Discounting of Positive Events Scale(DPES), Others Standards-Self Efficacy Questionnaire. Then, multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine mediating effects of discrepancies between others’ standards and self-efficacy. Results have shown that two interpretation biases of positive social events and social anxiety had played mediating roles in the discrepancies of others’ standards and self-efficacy. With these results, the relationship between interpretation bias of positive social events and social anxiety was discussed in terms of information processing. In the end, the clinical implications and several limitations of the present study were discussed.
