N1 - Funding Information:
All measures were collected as part of a larger research study funded by National Institute of Mental Health. All of the study procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board. Recruitment letters were mailed to parents of adolescents in Grades 7 through 12 in public middle and high schools. These letters described a research project focused on adolescents who reported being shy or feeling anxious in social situations. The letters stated that youth who did not report such feelings also were needed, and thus, any youth between the ages of 13 and 17 may be eligible for participation. Parents completed an initial phone screen to determine eligibility. For the purposes of the larger study, the following exclusion criteria, per parent report, were used: diagnoses of learning disabilities and treatment histories for Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorders.

N2 - The current study examined the tripartite model of anxiety and depression in relation to social phobia in a nonclinical sample of adolescents (ages 13-17). Adolescent/parent dyads participated in a semistructured interview and completed self-report measures of the tripartite constructs and social anxiety. Adolescents gave an impromptu speech, and heart rate was monitored. Low positive affect, high negative affect, and high physiological hyperarousal were characteristic of adolescents diagnosed with social phobia; adolescents with elevated social anxiety symptoms who did not meet criteria for social phobia did not evidence low positive speech was not significantly correlated with self-reported physiological hyperarousal.
