Review of Related Literature: Social Anxiety

As specified in an article by Brozovich and Heimberg in 2019, post-

event processing plays a vital role in development of social anxiety disorder.
An individual's repeated analysis and prospective reconstruction of his
performance after a social scenario is known as post-event processing.
These may can also happen when an individual anticipates a social
gathering or event and begins to wonder about other, past social
experiences. Furthermore, the study also presents that the majority of the
time, people with social anxiety have preconceptions about who they are and
how they interact with others that are based on early experiences. They
frequently rely on these presumptions to view social occurrences as
threatening when faced with unexpected social situations that results to
panic, discomfort, and disorientation that affects an individual's general
performance.
Existing relationship between social anxiety and the communication of
information about the self is examined from the point of view of Schlenker
and Leary in 2020. The study explicates how people tend to build worries
from opinions of others that eventually form social anxiety. It is specifically
hypothesized that social anxiety develops when people are driven to make
a positive impression on audiences yet have doubts about doing so. It is
asserted that having a big goal, such as making a good impression,
combined with low expectations of success leads to unpleasant emotions,
withdrawal from one's environment on a physical or psychological level, and
self-preoccupation with one's limitations.
According to a book entitled Loneliness and Social Anxiety (Jones et
al., 2017), social anxiety shares the similar level with shame,
embarrassment, shyness, and communication apprehension. It is the
difficulty to interact and socialize with other people that it creates barriers
and problems in daily lives of affected people. And relationships has a great
connection with loneliness despite the irony it carries. The significance of the
relationship between loneliness and a wide range of emotional, behavioral
and psychological issues lies beneath the idea of social associations.
Substance misuse, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and susceptibility to health
issues are some effects of these.
 Review of Related Literature: Separation Anxiety

Based on a study concluded with 83 women by Fein et al., maternal

anxiety does not vary with a child's age. Hierarchical regression analyses
showed that worried moms had temperamentally negative infants, had less
support, were younger and less educated, and offered less variety in home
stimulation. An inevitable consequence of a mother's decision to continue
working is separation anxiety. The time they consume on workplaces causes
negative impacts on their relationship with their child. In psychological
perspective, maternal social anxiety is defined as the unpleasant emotional
state reflecting a mother's apprehensions about leaving her child and
evidenced by expressions of sadness, worry, uneasiness, or guilt (Hock, De
Meis, & Mc Bride, 2018.)
In reference with Continuities of Separation Anxiety From Early Life Into
Adulthood in 2000, it investigates whether an adult separation anxiety
disorder diagnosis may be made within similarities between the condition's
juvenile and adult forms. The potentials of early separation anxiety as a risk
factor leading to adult anxiety disorder were examined. Under stress, adults
with undiagnosed separation anxiety disorder may exhibit symptoms similar
to panic attacks. Unless sufferers are questioned about the separation
anxieties or threats to bonds that cause such symptoms, such "panic attacks"
may be thought to occur "spontaneously."
On the other hand, as stated from a study called Parent-child interaction
therapy for treatment of separation anxiety disorder in young children in
2005, the results imply that PCIT may be particularly beneficial for treating
young children with SAD, the most common but least studied pediatric
anxiety illness. The findings of this study are consistent with other research
highlighting the significant role that familial factors play in childhood anxiety.
There are a number of mechanisms put forth that could explain the sharp
decline in separation-anxious behaviors observed in kids during PCIT,
including improved parent-child attachment, higher levels of child control,
increased social reinforcement of brave behaviors, and lower levels of parent
anxiety.
