Individuals with social anxiety may ruminate for hours or even days over their perceived social failures after being in a social situation(e.g., social interaction), a process known as post-event rumination(PER). PER is unproductive and theoretically maintains anxiety, possibly through rehearsal and elaboration of negative social memories. Despite this theoretical emphasis, to date, PER has not been studied extensively in the context of social anxiety. In order to examine the influence of social interaction on PER in socially anxious people, we measured changes in skin conductance level of 19 individuals with high social anxiety(HSA) and 19 individuals with low social anxiety(LSA) during social interaction tasks. In addition, PER was measured using post-event rumination scales after a recovery period and after three days. Results indicated that although physiological arousal levels in the social interaction did not differ between the HSA group and the LSA group, the HSA group showed more delayed recovery from it than the LSA group. Also, subjects in the HSA group reported that they experienced higher levels of anxiety and thought more frequently about social interaction than those in the LSA group after social interaction. These results provide empirical support for the idea that PER would play a crucial role in development or maintenance of social anxiety.
