Profile of the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale

社会避免和悲伤的规模（悲伤）是一个28项自我评级规模，用于衡量社交焦虑的各个方面，包括痛苦，不适，恐惧，焦虑和避免社交场合。

规模开发

The Social Avoidance and Distress Scale was developed by David Watson and Ronald Friend in 1969 and is closely linked to theFear of Negative Evaluation Scale (FNE)由同一个作者。诸如SADS的尺度通常由临床医生使用，以筛选问题或由研究人员跟踪症状随着时间的推移，通常在某种干预之前和之后。

规模管理

Each item on the SADS is a statement about some aspect of social anxiety. When answering the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, you must decide whether each statement is true or false for you personally. If the choice is difficult, you are asked to choose the one that is slightly more applicable based on how you feel at the moment. You are also asked to answer based on your first reaction and not spend too long on any item.

以下是悲伤的一些示例问题。尝试将这些中的每一个作为真假取决于您认为对您的大部分适用于您：

• "I feel relaxed even in unfamiliar social situations."
• “我试图避免迫使我非常善于交际的情况。”
• "It is easy for me to relax when I am with strangers."

得分

A total score on the SADS is obtained based on the answers to the true/false questions. Higher scores indicate greater social anxiety. As with any self-report instrument, scores on the SADS need to be interpreted by a mental health professional and followed up with a full diagnostic interview for social anxiety disorder (SAD) when warranted.

可靠性和有效性

在学生样本中，沃森和朋友展示了内部一致性可靠性.94并测试 - 重保持的可靠性.68。这些发现意味着该仪器都有两者有效性（它衡量它的目标是测量）和可靠性（物品都是测量相同的东西）。

来自粗糙的一个词

如果你住在一起社会焦虑症的症状，使用自我报告措施可能很诱人，例如社会避免和痛苦规模，以评估您的问题是否可能被诊断为社交焦虑症。在医生考试期间也可以使用焦虑措施，例如悲伤，以检测焦虑症状的存在。只有大约20％的焦虑症寻求帮助他们的症状，但早期的检测可能会导致更快的治疗和更好的结果。

However, while instruments such as the SADS might be helpful in screening for a potential problem, it is only through a diagnostic appointment with a mental health professional that your issues can be properly assessed. If you feel that social anxiety is a problem that is having an impact on your daily life, consider making an appointment to discuss your concerns.
