Summary: | CONTEXT: The use of safety behaviours stresses the cognitive failure and tends to distort the evaluation of interpersonal experiences. OBJECTIVE: To assess the reliability of the self-administered Social Phobia Safety Behaviors Scale (ECSAS in the Portuguese acronym) in order to determine the association of social anxiety disorder (SAD) with processes related to safety behaviors. METHOD: A total of 155 university students of both genders with no previous history of psychiatric treatment, divided into two groups (80 cases and 75 non-cases of SAD), were systematically assessed using the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) and the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV (SCID-IV) for diagnostic confirmation and for the exclusion of other psychiatric disorders. RESULTS: The internal consistency of the ECSAS measured by the Cronbach alpha was 0.92, and, based on the test-retest method separated by a two-week interval, it reached satisfactory levels of temporal stability, with a weighted Kappa of 0.73. Regarding discriminant validity, the ECSAS had 0.963 sensitivity and 1 specificity. Regarding convergent validity, it presented a correlation (r) of 0.60. CONCLUSION: The ECSAS presented good psychometric indicators, contributing to a systematic assessment of the safety and avoidance behaviors associated with SAD. |

CONTEXTO: A utilização dos comportamentos de segurança acentua a falha no processamento cognitivo e tende a distorcer a avaliação de experiências interpessoais. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a fidedignidade e a validade da escala autoaplicável Social Phobia Safety Behaviours Scale (ECSAS), visando a verificar a associação do transtorno de ansiedade social (TAS) a processos cognitivos e a comportamentos de segurança. MÉTODO: Participou deste estudo uma amostra de 155 universitários, de ambos os sexos, sem história prévia de tratamento psiquiátrico, distribuídos em dois grupos (80 casos de TAS e 75 não casos), avaliados sistematicamente pelo Inventário de Fobia Social (SPIN) e pela Entrevista Clínica Estruturada para o DSM-IV (SCID-IV), como recurso de confirmação diagnóstica e exclusão de outros transtornos psiquiátricos. RESULTADOS: A ECSAS apresentou consistência interna, medida pelo alfa de Cronbach, de 0,92, e, com base no método de teste e reteste, com um intervalo de duas semanas, atingiu níveis satisfatórios de estabilidade temporal, com Kappa ponderado de 0,73. Quanto à validade discriminante, apresentou valores de sensibilidade de 0,963 e de especificidade de 1. Na validade convergente apresentou correlação (r) de 0,60. CONCLUSÃO: A ECSAS apresentou boas características psicométricas, contribuindo para a avaliação sistemática dos padrões de comportamentos de segurança e evitação associados ao TAS.
