Social Interaction Self-Statement Test (SISST) - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to assess self-statements that occur during social encounters, with an emphasis on thoughts that may facilitate or interfere with effective interaction. The Social Interaction Self-Statement Test (SISST) asks respondents to consider common interpersonal situations and rate the self-directed statements they are likely to experience.
The instrument contains 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. It can be used to characterize patterns of negative and supportive self-talk relevant to social confidence and social anxiety, and to inform case formulation and treatment planning. The Social Interaction Self-Statement Test (SISST) was developed by Richard M. Heimberg and Michael R. Liebowitz.
