Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This preliminary study examines whether 12 weeks of disorder-specific group cognitive behavior therapy alters behavioral anxiety markers, specifically gaze avoidance and speech disruptions, in adolescents with social anxiety disorder. The resource details a trial involving 41 participants aged 11–17 who completed a public speaking task before and after treatment while wearing an eye-tracker. Findings indicate that therapy was associated with increased frequency of gaze toward audience faces, particularly among older participants, but did not result in significant changes in speech disruptions at the group level.
