Abstract：
Aggression is a transdiagnostic behavior that is associated with poor clinical outcomes. As such, it is important to understand factors that contribute to various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Recent research has revealed a subtype of individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) who tend to display relatively high amounts of aggression and experience more severe social anxiety and dysfunction compared to individuals in the prototypical SAD group. The current study used a status threat manipulation along with behavioral indices of aggression to examine the impact of paranoia and social anxiety symptom severity on aggression in a sample of undergraduates with social anxiety (N = 220). Analyses indicated that paranoia uniquely predicted indirect aggression whereas an interaction between social status threat, paranoia, and social anxiety severity uniquely predicted direct aggression. These findings suggest that paranoia may be a particularly important contributor to aggression among individuals with social anxiety.
摘要：
侵略是一种与不良临床结果相关的诊断行为。因此，了解导致攻击行为各种表现的因素很重要。最近的研究表明，与典型的SAD组相比，患有社交焦虑症（SAD）的个体倾向于表现出相对较高的攻击性，并经历更严重的社交焦虑和功能障碍。当前的研究使用了状态威胁操纵以及侵略行为指数，以检查偏执狂和社交焦虑症状严重程度对具有社交焦虑的大学生样本（N=220）的侵略行为的影响。分析表明，偏执狂唯一地预测了间接侵略，而社会地位威胁之间的相互作用，偏执狂,和社交焦虑的严重程度独特地预测了直接攻击。这些发现表明，偏执狂可能是社交焦虑个体侵略的一个特别重要的因素。
