Keyword: Psychopathology

Abstract: Social anxiety (SA) is common and challenging to treat. Cross-sectional work suggests that diminished social support promotes SA, but prospective-longitudinal research is scarce. Leveraging a racially diverse sample of at-risk adults, results demonstrate that low social support is associated with elevated SA and forecasts a worsening symptom trajectory.
