    Se llevaron a cabo dos estudios para evaluar los correlatos fisiológicos de la ansiedad social en una situación de entrevista estructurada. En el primer estudio, 28 mujeres ansiosas sociales (AS) y no ansiosas sociales (NAS) fueron entrevistadas por un entrevistador de sexo masculino mientras se registraba su actividad electrodérmica y cardiovascular. Cumplimentaron igualmente el cuestionario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo de Spielberger y una escala de ansiedad experimentada durante la tarea. La actividad electrodérmica diferenció entre las mujeres AS y NAS, mostrando las AS mayor actividad electrodérmica. Un segundo estudio similar al anterior, pero donde el estresor social fue una entrevista con una mujer. En este caso la mayor actividad electrodérmica se encontró en el grupo de mujeres NAS. Esta discrepancia de resultados se discute en función de las características de la situación experimental y del sexo del entrevistador en contextos sociales evaluadores.

    Two experiments were carried out in order to assess physiological correlates of social anxiety while the subjects were interviewed. In the first experiment, 28 women were assigned either to a socially anxious (SA) group or to a non-socially anxious (NSA) group according to their scores on the Social Avoidance and Distress scale. Subjects were interviewed by a male experimenter while their electrodermal and cardiovascular activity were recorded. Subjects filled in the Spielberger's State and Trait Anxiety Inventory and a scale which assessing the experienced anxiety. There were differences in electrodermal activity data between both groups). SA women showed higher electrodermal activity. Other 28 women participated in the second experiment with the same procedure as in the first one, with the exception that the interviewer was a female experimenter. Electrodermal activity was higher in NAS women. This discrepancy between results of both experiments is discussed in terms of the characteristics of the experimental setting and the gender of the interviewer in evaluative situations.
