Abstract

The present study was designed to test the effects of Heart Rate (HR) biofeedback training on social anxiety and self-evaluation. Thirty undergraduate students were selected to high social anxiety subjects based on the Social Avoidance & Distress Scale. The subjects were randomly assigned into the two groups: the HR biofeedback training group (n=IS) and the waiting-list control group (n=IS). The results were as follows. The higher social anxiety subjects had more negative self-evaluation than the lower social anxiety subjects. In the HR biofeedback training group, anxiety level (self-reported social anxiety, HR) and negative self-evaluationin were more significantly reduced than in the waiting-list control group. These results showed that HR biofeedback training was effective in reducing social anxiety and negative self-evaluation. Finally, the limitations and implications of this study were discussed.
