The Social Anxiety Stigma Scale (Sass): Development, Factor Structure, And Validation, Ruba Rum
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The primary reason people with social anxiety disorder (SAD) do not seek treatment is due to stigma concerns. Yet, our understanding of SAD stigma hinges heavily on measures that assess general mental illness stigma, which may not capture the distinct aspects of SAD. The goal of this research program was to develop and validate a measure of social anxiety stigma that assesses personal stigma towards people with SAD: the Social Anxiety Stigma Scale (SASS). The SASS was evaluated across three studies. In Study 1 (N = 221), an initial item analysis was conducted on 33 items to remove weak items …

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
An estimated 500 Central African refugee families have been resettled in the Tampa Bay Area since 2002 (RPC, 2022).

Life satisfaction and positive/negative affect data were collected via a Qualtrics survey that was administered twice per week. Through visual analysis and Baseline Corrected Tau calculations, it was …
