In this study, we analyzed changes in the strength of self-anxiety associations-as measured by the Implicit Association Test-Anxiety (IAT-Anxiety;
Egloff & Schmukle, 2002
) and the Social Phobia Anxiety Inventory (SPAI;
Turner, Beidel, Dancu, & Stanley, 1989
)-following treatment of social anxiety. We assessed socially anxious participants (N = 24) prior to and following a group-based treatment; and we assessed healthy controls (N = 24) at matched time points. Results showed (a) higher implicit and explicit anxiety in socially anxious participants (as compared to controls) prior to treatment and (b) reductions in IAT-Anxiety and SPAI scores of socially anxious participants following treatment. We discuss implications of these results for clinical applications of the IAT.
