Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN; Connor et al., 2000)
The SPIN is a 17-item questionnaire assessing social phobia (SAD)
symptoms over the last week, participants indicate how much they are
“bothered” by problems such as “I avoid going to
parties” and “talking to strangers scares me” on a 0-4 scale
with answers of “not at all” scoring 0 points, through to“extremely” which scores the maximum 4 points, resulting
in a range of 0-68 with a score of 19 reliably distinguishing between
those with SAD and controls (Conner et al., 2000).
