Summary

A substantial number of children with social anxiety fail to gain benefit from contemporary cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) approaches. More novel treatment approaches for treatment of social anxiety are needed. The current study attempts to modify an interpretation style that is characteristic of children who also display high anxiety in social situations. Participants between the ages of 8-12 years old, with social anxiety, will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions: two conditions are designed to manipulate the interpretation bias or a wait-list control condition. All study procedures will be conducted online. This study will help develop an effective cognitive intervention program for social anxiety in children.
