In social situations, individuals with social phobia experience high levels of distress and avoidance, impaired social performance, and biased interpretation of self-relevant social information. Are these responses automatically elicited upon exposure to social threat, regardless of context, or are they moderated by contextual social cues that convey information about expected standards for performance? In this study, 39 individuals with generalized social phobia and 39 matched nonclinical controls progressed through several stages of a laboratory experiment in which they were randomly assigned to perform a public speech under one of three conditions that varied according to the availability and nature of information about performance standards. One-third of the participants received cues indicating that standards were high, one-third received cues indicating that standards were low, and the remaining third were given no explicit information about expected standards.

520 $a In social situations, individuals with social phobia experience high levels of distress and avoidance, impaired social performance, and biased interpretation of self-relevant social information. Are these responses automatically elicited upon exposure to social threat, regardless of context, or are they moderated by contextual social cues that convey information about expected standards for performance? In this study, 39 individuals with generalized social phobia and 39 matched nonclinical controls progressed through several stages of a laboratory experiment in which they were randomly assigned to perform a public speech under one of three conditions that varied according to the availability and nature of information about performance standards. One-third of the participants received cues indicating that standards were high, one-third received cues indicating that standards were low, and the remaining third were given no explicit information about expected standards.
520 $a Results indicated that perceived standards were moderated by the characteristics of the "implicit audience," with unfamiliar evaluators expected by individuals with social phobia to hold significantly higher standards than evaluators who were familiar with participants' diagnostic status. More importantly, self-appraisals of performance depended upon the availability and nature of the information participants received about performance expectations. In the no standards condition, individuals with social phobia appraised their performance poorly---as poorly as when standards were unambiguously high. The no standards condition also uniquely influenced social phobics to significantly underestimate their performance in comparison to ratings made by objective observers. Conversely, exposure to cues indicating that social standards were low led to patient self-appraisals that were both more positive and more accurate. Though no differential pattern emerged in psychophysiological responding between the two groups, individuals with social phobia reported higher levels of anxiety and negative affect, and lower levels of positive affect. Group differences in positive affect were more pronounced during certain epochs of the no standards condition.
520 $a Overall, findings challenge the notion that social phobia is characterized by automatic, global distortions in self-perception, and provide support for the view that negative self-perception is primed by self-relevant, social comparative cues that are context-dependent. Implications for the psychopathology and treatment of social phobia are discussed.
