A multi-component Page 17 of 1910/8/2000http://spider.apa.org/ftdocs/abn/1999/may/abn1082211.htmlA further issue that must be considered in interpreting the present results concerns the degree to which the results may be extrapolated to children presenting with social phobia more generally. The sample studied here was limited to those children with a "pure" diagnosis of social phobia. Given evidence suggesting that a significant proportion of children with a diagnosis of social phobia will also show another anxiety disorder or presenting problem ( Vasey, 1995 ), it is important that further studies are conducted with children who show comorbid diagnoses. In summary, the present study provides clear evidence that childhood social phobia is associated with expectancy of poor social outcomes, and negative thoughts concerning social-evaluative tasks. However, the data make a convincing case to suggest that the poor social expectancies and evaluations of social phobic children may have some basis in reality.
