Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by an intense and unreasonable fear of social situations in which an individual is confronted with or could be judged by others (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The burden of disease for subclinical social anxiety and SAD in adolescence is substantial: poor quality of life, low level of functioning in school, work, and interpersonal environments and the risk of developing further mental disorders (e.g., Asselmann et al., 2018, Beesdo et al., 2007, Cairney et al., 2007). Online-Interventions hold promise to reduce these negative effects and to reach more adolescents in need of care compared to face-to-face therapy. Thus, we developed the online-intervention SOPHIE based on the cognitive model of Clark and Wells (1995). In their model, the authors propose several factors that are crucial for maintaining SAD. So far, these factors have been investigated in correlational or experimental studies in adolescents, but not in an intervention study (Leigh & Clark, 2018). Applying Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) allows us to assess these factors throughout the intervention at multiple time-points and to model them as mediators of the relationship between the intervention and outcome (Schmidt & Schimmelmann, 2015). Thereby, we aim to understand the underlying mechanisms of change.
