The cognitive model of social anxiety disorder assumes that various information processing biases influence on occurrence and maintenance of social anxiety symptoms. Based on this assumption, we investigated the effect of social anxiety symptoms on the ensemble coding of crowd emotion. Seventy-seven college students participated in this study and completed self-report scales, measuring social anxiety and depression symptoms. In the experiment, they were sequentially presented with 10 faces, and were asked to rate the average emotion as negative or positive. Each facial emotion was angry or happy, and they were presented in seven ratios (2:8, 3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, 8:2). We used a a cumulative normal distribution function to calculate the point of subjective equality (PSE) of the negative and positive emotions. The result of a correlational analysis showed that a significant positive correlation between the level of social anxiety symptoms and PSE. Moreover, it was still significant when controlling the effect of depression symptoms. It suggests that the higher the level of social anxiety, the greater tendency to judge the average crowd emotion is negative.
