本研究探討高低社交焦慮特質者在解釋社交線索時,是否會有特定偏好仰賴身體或臉部情緒訊息,或是會做出負向威脅解釋。研究結果顯示高社交焦慮組並未展現出偏好身體情緒線索。本研究結果也指出不論在單獨的臉孔與身體刺激,或是在配對的情緒刺激上,皆無觀察到高社交焦慮組有展現出負向解釋偏誤的情況。另一方面,本研究發現在配對情緒刺激中出現具有威脅性刺激的情況下,低社交焦慮組較容易做出非威脅性情緒判斷。此發現顯示了正向的解釋偏誤。另外,在可趨近性意願上高社交焦慮組相較於低社交焦慮組有較低的與他人互動的意願。最後,反應時間的資料顯示當出現中性臉配對開心身體時,高社交焦慮組花費較久的時間思考是否要與之互動。
The present study investigated whether people with high social anxiety trait prefer body emotional cues rather than face emotional cues. In addition, the present study also investigated whether they tend to interpret social cues negatively or not. The results suggested that people with high social anxiety trait did not prefer body emotional cues, and they did not interpret social cues negatively. Instead, the findings suggested that people with low social anxiety trait showed positive interpretation bias to threatening stimuli. In addition, it took longer for people with high social anxiety trait to report their willingness to interact with a neutral face match with a happy body.
