Effects of the Observer Perspective and Self-Presentational Motivation on Social Anxiety

Abstract

The present study explored the effects of the observer perspective and self-presentational motivation(SPM) on social anxiety. It was hypothesized that the observer perspective produced higher social anxiety and this effect was larger in high SPM individuals than in low SPM individuals. College students who scored high or low on a measure of SPM took turns asking questions and answering in the observer perspective condition and the field perspective condition. The observer perspective taking increased self-focused attention and high SPM group experienced more self-focused attention than low SPM group. The results indicated that high SPM subjects reported higher state anxiety in the observer perspective condition than in the field perspective condition, but low SPM subjects didn't. However these effects were absent on the ratings of social performance. The findings of this study implicate the roles of the observer perspective and self-presentational motivation in contributing to high social anxiety.
