Olumsuz değerlendirilme korkusu sosyal kaygı bozukluğunun temel özelliklerinden biridir. Öte yandan sosyal kaygı bozukluğuyla ilgili son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar, olumlu değerlendirilme korkusu ve duygu düzenleme güçlüklerinin önemine vurgu yapmaktadır. Araştırmalar olumlu değerlendirilme korkusu ve duygu düzenleme güçlüklerinin sosyal kaygı bozukluğu belirtilerine katkıda bulunabileceğini göstermesine rağmen, bu kavramları bir arada ele alan herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Ayrıca olumlu değerlendirilme korkusu ile duygu düzenleme güçlüklerinin sosyal kaygı bozukluğu belirtilerine nasıl katkı sağladığı net değildir. Alanyazındaki bu eksikliklerden hareketle, bu çalışmanın amacı olumlu ve olumsuz değerlendirilme korkusu ve duygu düzenleme güçlüklerinin sosyal kaygı bozukluğu belirtileri ile performans algısı üzerindeki rolünü incelemektir. Çalışmanın örneklemini İzmir’de çeşitli üniversitelerde öğrenim görmekte olan 170 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılar öncelikle demografik bilgi formu, Liebowitz Sosyal Kaygı Ölçeği, Olumsuz Değerlendirme Korkusu Ölçeği-Kısa Form, Olumlu Değerlendirilme Korkusu Ölçeği, Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği Kısa Form ve Duygu Düzenleme Güçlüğü Ölçeği Kısa Form’u içeren bir ölçek bataryası doldurmuşlardır. Yaklaşık 10-15 gün sonra kamera karşısında bir konuşma performansı gerçekleştirmişler ve sonrasında Konuşma Performansı Ölçeği aracılığıyla performanslarını değerlendirmişlerdir. Yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizleri; cinsiyet ve depresyon kontrol edildikten sonra olumlu değerlendirilme korkusu, olumsuz değerlendirilme korkusu ve duygu düzenleme güçlüklerinin, sosyal kaygı bozukluğu belirtilerini pozitif yönde, performansa yönelik değerlendirmeleri ise negatif yönde yordadığını göstermiştir. Başka bir ifadeyle; olumlu ve olumsuz değerlendirilme korkusu ve duygu düzenleme güçlüklerindeki artış, sosyal kaygı belirtilerindeki artışla ve performansa yönelik daha olumsuz öznel değerlendirmelerle ilişkilidir. Bulgular ilgili alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.

THE ROLE OF FEAR OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EVALUATION, AND DIFFICULTIES IN EMOTION REGULATION ON SOCIAL ANXIETY SYMPTOMS AND PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

Öz

Fear of negative evaluation is one of the main features of social anxiety disorder. On the other hand; recent studies on social anxiety disorder emphasize the importance of fear of positive evaluation and difficulties in emotion regulation. Although research has shown that fear of positive evaluation and difficulties in emotion regulation contribute to the symptoms of social anxiety disorder, no study has addressed these concepts together. In addition, it is not clear how fear of positive evaluation and difficulties in emotion regulation contribute to the symptoms of social anxiety disorder. Based on these shortcomings in the literature, this study aims to examine the role of fear of positive and negative evaluations and difficulties in emotion regulation on the symptoms of social anxiety disorder and performance appraisal. The sample consists of 170 university students studying at various universities in Izmir. Participants first filled out a battery of scales including demographic information form, Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale-Short Form, Fear of Positive Evaluation Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-Short Form, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form. After about 10-15 days, they carried out a videotaped speech performance and then evaluated their performance through the Speech Performance Scale. Hierarchical regression analysis results show that fear of positive evaluation, fear of negative evaluation and difficulties in emotion regulation positively predict social anxiety disorder symptoms and negatively predict performance appraisal controlling for gender and depression. In other words, fear of positive and negative evaluations and emotional regulation difficulties are associated with increased social anxiety symptoms and negative subjective evaluations of performance. The findings are discussed in light of the relevant literature.
