Statistical analyses/number of participants analyzed LSAS-SR SPIN SIAS SPSQ BDI-II ATQ ABS-II
Results for the first intervention group (the iCBT group)

Only clinical Ps (n = 66) .89 3.13** 3.00** 2.35* -.22 2.58* 2.33*
Results for the second intervention group (the former wait-list control group)
Paired sample t-test (comparing pre- to post-intervention scores)
Clinical and subclinical Ps (n = 33) 8.39** 9.29** 7.18** 8.93** 5.71** 5.52** 5.84**
Only clinical Ps (n = 28) 7.29** 8.89** 6.35** 7.87** 4.29** 5.15** 5.09**

Notes: 1) The values presented in Table 3 represent the Univariate ANCOVAs and the paired sample t-test for the main outcome measures. 2) The wait-list control group (WLCG) received the same psychosocial intervention after the iCBT group ended it (i.e., starting from week ten). The data presented in the bottom of Table 3 summarized the differences between the pre- and post-intervention scores obtained by the second intervention group (i.e. the former WLCG). Abbreviations: LSAS-SR = Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale–Self-Report version; SPIN = Social Phobia Inventory; SIAS = Social Interaction and Anxiety Scale; SPSQ = Social Phobia Screening Questionnaire; BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II; ATQ = Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire; ABS-II = Attitude and Belief Scale-II. Ps = Participants.
