Resumen:

A persistent fear of social or performance situations in which embarrassment may occur is the essential feature for social anxiety. Cognitive theories of social anxiety emphasize the role of negative self- appraisals and the anticipation of negative consequences for oneself. Nevertheless, other cognitive constructs have a significant role in the maintenance of social anxiety; specifically, the tendency to see oneself as overly responsible for other people's discomfort and the distress arising from concerns of being negatively judged by others. The interest in the assessment of these fears in patients with social anxiety is increasing, but research is also required to determine their impact in the development of social anxiety in non-clinical samples and the extent to which gender differences may arise in a specific cultural setting. © 2012 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
