This study examined the central characteristics of chronic social anxiety individuals and their role in a positive treatment outcome following STS. Participants (N=121) were consecutively admitted individuals with chronic social anxiety who sought treatment at the shyness clinic, Palo Alto, California. The participants took the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) 2, the Personality Feelings Questionnaire (PFQ), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) II after completing their intake sessions. The scores of BDI II were used as outcome measures. Results demonstrated all of the STS predictor variables were significantly and positively (p<.001) correlated with one another, a finding that contrasts with the past STS studies. The results also provided the effectiveness of using an approach, called “Social Fitness Training”, which combined cognitive and insight oriented interventions. The effectiveness of the approach, as hypothesized, was moderated by patients’ coping styles. The strength of the patients’ internalizing coping styles and feelings of shame/guilt require further study in Asian Cultures since Asians tend to score high on these dimensions.}, pages = {87--115}, title = {Systematic Treatment Selection (STS): Chronic Social Anxiety and Positive Treatment Outcomes in Relation to Internalizing}, volume = {20}, year = {2015} }
