Abstract

Objective To explore the fear of evaluation in college student with social anxiety, in order to reveal the existence of implicit fear of evaluation and its relationships with explicit fear of evaluation. Methods A total of 490 college students, selected from Fuzhou University by using convenience cluster sampling method, were surveyed with Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS). Finally, 65 valid subjects have completed the Implicit Association Test. Results Social anxiety students' explicit fear of evaluation was significantly higher than those of non-social anxiety college students, including positive and negative (t=7.03, 5.66, P < 0.01). There were significant differences between self-positive evaluation of college students' social anxiety (1 019.26±124.44 ms) and self-neutral evaluation (909.78±175.20 ms)(t=5.67, P < 0.05). In two groups of college students, there were significant differences between self-negative evaluation and self-neutral evaluation (t=9.17, 12.33, P < 0.01). Implicit fear of evaluation were found to exist among students with social anxiety and without social anxiety. There was a low correlation between explicit and implicit fear of evaluation between social anxiety students and non-social anxiety students(P > 0.05); There was no significant gender difference between implicit and explicit fear of evaluation(P > 0.05). Conclusion Social anxiety college students have explicit and implicit fear of evaluation, with separate and independent effects.
