| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Social anxiety disorder is characterized by marked anxieties for public speaking and social interactions. In order to maximize the effectiveness of an exposure technique which is essential to psychotherapy for social anxiety disorder, this study aimed to examine the effects of mindfulness meditation and loving-kindness meditation on social anxiety symptoms.
Results revealed that mindfulness meditation and loving-kindness meditation reduced trait social anxiety. Furthermore, the loving-kindness meditation, which specifically enhances prosocial behaviors, had more beneficial effects on social avoidance than body-scan meditation and attention training.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
マインドフルネス瞑想や慈悲の瞑想が特性的な社交不安を減弱させることは明らかにされたが，状態不安の変化はみられなかった。これらのトレーニングを行うだけでは不十分であるが，エクスポージャーと併用することによってエクスポージャー中の行動が変わり，効果が高まる可能性が示されたことは，本領域における研究を活性化する学術的意義とともに，社交不安症に悩む患者への治療効果を高める臨床的・社会的意義がある。
