Pathogenesis Of Social Phobia

With the promotion of psychological counseling and social guidance, the theory of cognitive behavior has developed.

Some authors believe that social phobia is mainly a lack.

Social contact

The training of skills and abilities.

Lack of social skills creates bad impression on others, causes bad reactions to others, and leads to embarrassing situations.

At the same time, I realized that my social awkwardness is also easy to cause nervousness.

Other authors emphasize the role of cognition.

They believe that social behavior of socially phobia patients can be objectively objective, but patients' evaluation of themselves is inappropriate.

In social interaction, self demeaning plays an important role.

Many patients are originally those who lack self-confidence and tend to be self abased.

There are still some patients who want too much of themselves and hate to be praised and liked by their superior eloquence and manners.

This inevitably leads to self defeating. Finally, people are nervous and scared.

Of course, many writers combine social skills with self-evaluation to emphasize the interaction between cognition and behavior.

Leary (1983) believes that existing theories help to understand social phobia, but no theory can fully explain the known precondition (forerunner and induced events) and the performance after illness.

Leary's theory is called self recommendation theory.

The point of theory is that there must be motivation in social interaction.

Popularly speaking, a person can feel nervous or even frightened when he wants to create a special impression in others' mind.

If no matter what other people think of me, I don't care about it at all, so I won't be nervous or scared.

It can be seen that the common factor determining all social phobia is motivation, that is, the intention to leave a good impression in others' mind.

There are two factors that determine motivation: one is the situation, the other is personality.

Let's talk about the situation first.

For example, if you want to make friends or love with the opposite sex, the more beautiful or talented your partner is, the more motivated you will be.

strong

It is also easier to be nervous.

For example, if we take part in the job interview exam, if we have more competition and strict selection criteria, we will easily feel nervous.

For example, the people who will be meeting will be in power, and the interview will play a key role in their life.

Generally speaking, it's easy to be nervous when meeting people for the first time, because we all know that the first impression on people is very important.

It can be seen that, in terms of incentives or forerunner events, it is often a situation that depends on specific motives.

Of course, there are exceptions. There are no specific and definite purposes at first. However, the embarrassing situation that happens occasionally frustrate the patient's desire to get the impression of others, and can also be a trigger event.

Let's talk about the other side of motivation, that is, the personality of a person.

If a person

inclination

In order to control others' impression of him, or especially to love face, it seems that all of them like him. This is the only way to have a face. Or, if perfectionism is strong enough to be perfectionist in front of others, then this person will easily suffer from social phobia.

Generally speaking, the prognosis of social phobia is good.

As long as a patient lives long, social terror will ease or even disappear sooner or later.

However, if there is no effective psychotherapy, social phobia can be prolonged for many years, so that the most valuable part of life is wasted in pain and inaction.

Some extreme cases can be seen clinically.

Some patients are relatively healthy before their illness, and terror occurs in a strong traumatic situation.

Desensitization therapy is effective in this case.

The other extreme is that the patient has personality disorder. He is shy and afraid of seeing people. He also loves face and is strong and competitive. He has always lacked social training and has no interest in childhood. At the very least, he will eat books.

As soon as they reach puberty, the social terror becomes apparent. There is often no definite incentive.

The interaction between the two factors is the development of social phobia.

Why is social phobia relieving spontaneously after middle age? It is very simple that social motivation decreases with age.

Popularly speaking, thickening of the face, social phobia has lost the soil of growth.

In general, social interaction includes interaction with parents, but there is not a single case of social terror in front of parents. There are three reasons for this:

(1) parents regard their children as the pearl or genius or filial son.

2. Parents always keep saying that everything is clear enough to see their children grow up, and their faults and shortcomings are clearly seen.

Children do not think their parents will have any other opinions or comments about them. They do not need to pretend or hope that they will get a special impression from their parents.

(3) children are full of resentment and hostility towards their parents, anger makes them impossible to exist, or their parents are weak. They feel nothing to do with each other and lack social motivation.
