研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand which individuals benefit most from an internet-based cognitive behavioral intervention for social anxiety. Adults aged 18-65 will complete a self-guided online program designed to reduce anxiety symptoms. The investigators will use a combination of self-reported clinical information and data from computerized decision-making and cognitive tasks to predict changes in symptom scores from the intervention.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group
All participants are assigned to the e-couch social anxiety program. Over a 5-week study period, participants are instructed to complete specific modules on a weekly schedule. They are asked to engage with the program at least once per week for approximately 30 minutes. Participants receive weekly reminders and guidance indicating which modules to complete each week.
干预措施: Internet-delivered self-help for social anxiety based on principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Predictive accuracy of change in social anxiety symptom severity, as measured by Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) total score, from baseline to end of intervention (5 weeks)
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) to end of intervention (5 weeks)
Social anxiety symptom severity will be assessed using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), a validated self-report questionnaire measuring fear and avoidance across social interaction and performance situations. The LSAS total score ranges from 0 to 144, with higher scores indicating greater social anxiety symptom severity. LSAS total scores will be collected at baseline (pre-intervention) and at the end of the 5-week e-couch intervention period. The outcome metric is the individual-level change in LSAS total score, calculated as the end-of-intervention score minus the baseline score. The primary outcome is the accuracy with which pre-intervention self-report measures and computerized behavioral task performance predict change in LSAS total score. Analyses will examine the extent to which individual differences in decision-making and cognitive task performance account for variability in symptom change across participants.
