As proposed in a prominent developmental model, social anxiety has different manifestations: social fear, shy temperament. anxious cognitions, and avoidance of social situations. Drawing from this model, we used the network approach to psychopathology to gain a detailed understanding of specific social anxiety components and their associations. The current article investigated (a) how social anxiety components are interconnected within a network, and (b) the consistency of the network over time, in a community sample of children and adolescents. Data from 3 waves of a longitudinal study were used. At Time 1 (T1) the total sample comprised 331 participants (M-age = 13.34 years); at Time 3 (T3) there were 236 participants (M-age = 17.48 years). Social anxiety components were assessed with self-report questionnaires. Networks of 15 nodes (i.e., components) were estimated. Network analysis of T1 components revealed 4 communities: cognitive, social-emotional. avoidance of performance, and avoidance of interaction situations. There were no direct connections between the cognitive and behavioral communities; social-emotional nodes appeared to act as bridge components between the 2 communities. A similar pattern of component associations and communities was found in the T2 and T3 networks. and the longitudinal network incorporating node change trajectories. Networks were estimated on group-level observational data and conclusions about cause-effect relationships are tentative. Although the sample size decreased across the 3 waves, the reliability of parameter estimates were minimally affected. Findings attest to the potential value of applying the network approach to investigate the pattern of associations among social anxiety components in youth.
