Post-event processing (PEP) involving rumination about perceived inadequacy in a past social situation has been proposed as an important maintaining factor in social phobia. The three aims of this study were to examine (a) the factor structure and internal reliability of a modified version of the Post-Event Processing Questionnaire [Rachman, S., Grüter-Andrew, J., & Shafran, R. (2000). Post-event processing in social anxiety. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 38, 611–617] in a clinical sample with social phobia (N=117), (b) the associations between PEP and symptoms of anxiety and depression, and (c) the relationship between perspective-taking (‘field’ and ‘observer’) and anxiety. Principal axis factor analysis yielded a highly reliable one-factor solution in our clinical sample, which generally replicated Rachman et al.'s findings with a sample of undergraduate students. PEP was most strongly and independently associated with state anxiety when depression, general anxiety and stress were controlled for. Contrary to expectations, PEP was not related to measures of social anxiety. The relationship between perspective-taking and anxiety was more complex than expected. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed with reference to contemporary cognitive-behavioural models of social phobia.
