This study examined the relationships between differentiation of self, social anxiety, and physiological symptoms based on Bowen's family systems theory. Using a sample of Israeli university students, the study tested several hypotheses regarding differentiation of self and found that social anxiety and physical symptoms were negatively correlated with family differentiation. Specifically, students with less differentiation were more at risk for high social anxiety and symptoms. The findings suggest differentiation is an important concept for Israeli students and therapists should consider aspects of differentiation when treating clients' social anxiety.
