[Abstract] Objective To explore the effect of interactive psychological intervention on social phobia. Methods A total of 100 patients with social phobia in our hospital from May 2019 to May 2021 were the subjects of this study. They were randomly divided into groups by digital table method. The control group was treated with oral drugs and general psychological intervention, while the observation group was combined with interactive psychological intervention on the basis of oral drugs. Before and after the intervention, the social fear week summary scale (spwss), Communication Anxiety Scale (IAS), Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale self-assessment Version (LSAS-SR) and social cognition questionnaire (SCQ) were evaluated. Results After the intervention, the scores of anxieties, self-focus external attention, avoidance, past rumination and expected treatment in the spwss scale of the two groups were significantly reduced, and the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group after the intervention (P < 0.05). After the intervention, the IAS score, LSAS-SR score and SCQ score of the two groups decreased significantly, and after the intervention, the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Interactive psychological intervention can effectively reduce the symptoms of social phobia, reduce social anxiety and improve social cognitive function.
