Note. The table shows pre-assessment and post-assessment mean scores and standard deviations (SD) on all outcome measures of participants in both conditions of the study; a, b subscripts denote significantly different values at p<0.05 between conditions at each time point; AAT = Approach-Avoidance Task; LSAS = Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale; SPIN = Social Phobia Inventory; BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II; IPSM-29 = Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure – 29 item version; BAT = Behavioral Approach Task; Latency = time taken to begin task; Duration = time spent engaging in task; STAI-B = 8-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, state version.
