Research On The Relationship Between Social Class,Cognitive Bias And College Students’ Social Anxiety

Social anxiety disorder can cause individuals to generate anxiety and fear in interpersonal communication,accompanied by avoidance behavior,which can cause damage to the interpersonal relationship and quality of life of social anxiety.Cognitive bias is considered to be a deviation of information processing.Researchers have found that social anxiety sufferers generally have cognitive biases such as attention bias and interpretation bias.Cognitive bias plays an important role in the development of social anxiety disorders and leads to the persistence of symptoms.Interpersonal communication is an important step in the socialization of individuals.The family and the social resources it brings are important social support for individual interpersonal activities.As a realistic factor,social class will inevitably affect the individual’s judgment on interpersonal expectations and performance in social interaction.The purpose of this study is to mainly explore the relationship between social class and college students’ social anxiety,and the role of cognitive bias in it,and further analyze the influence of social class on the difference of attention bias and interpretation bias in cognitive bias.In the first study,the questionnaire survey method was used to collect the survey data of 514 college students from three universities in Zhengzhou City,and the relationship between the three was discussed.The results show that:(1)There is no significant correlation between objective social class and social anxiety score,and subjective social class has a significant negative correlation with social anxiety score.(2)Cognitive bias was significantly negatively correlated with subjective social class and positively correlated with social anxiety score.(3)Cognitive bias has a significant mediating effect between subjective social class and social anxiety.In the second study,the experimental method is used to further explore the influence of subjective social class on social anxiety,and analyze whether high and low social classes will have attention bias and interpretation bias in specific cognitive biases.The results show that:(1)The social anxiety scores of college students with low social class are significantly higher than those of high social class.(2)There was no significant difference in the response of different social groups to different face stimuli.(3)Under the positive vocabulary of the high social class,when the fuzzy situational response is significantly smaller than the baseline response,under the negative vocabulary,the difference between the baseline response time and the fuzzy situational response is not significant.Under the positive vocabulary,the low social class had no significant difference between the baseline response time and the fuzzy situational response.Under the negative vocabulary,the fuzzy situational response was significantly less than the baseline response time.Research conclusions:(1)Compared with high subjective social class,students with low subjective social class will have higher levels of social anxiety.(2)Cognitive bias plays a mediating role between subjective social class and social anxiety.Subjective social class influences individual social anxiety through cognitive bias.(3)There is no attention bias in the image of the face of the high and low social classes.For the interpretation of fuzzy situations,individuals in the high social class have positive interpretation bias,there is no negative interpretation bias,low social class individuals have negative interpretation bias,and there is no positive interpretation bias.
