Social anxiety in people with facial palsy: The role of fear of negative evaluation and appearance‐fixing behaviour
Findings are consistent with Clark and Well's (1995) cognitive behavioural model of social anxiety. Findings indicate a need for screening and provision for psychological support for social anxiety in people with facial palsy and that cognitions relating to fear of negative evaluation and appearance-fixing behaviour are potentially useful targets for intervention.
