The Development and Evaluation of a Brief Shame Intervention Module: Proof of Concept in Social Anxiety Disorder

The current project will develop and test a brief 2-session shame intervention in individuals
diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD). Using a non-concurrent multiple baseline
design, the investigators will determine whether the brief shame intervention leads to
reductions in trait self-reported shame and state shame in response to an in vivo stressor
task. The investigators will also evaluate the effect of changes in shame on trait SAD
symptoms.

Affect-3 [TOSCA-3] means reported by an unselected undergraduate sample [M = 33.62, SD

- endorse a desire to decrease their levels of shame and/or social anxiety.

Exclusion Criteria:
