AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research project is to investigate the effects of 
      cognitive-behavioral group therapy on adolescents suffering from symptoms of 
      social anxiety. METHOD: cognitive behavioral group therapy program for reducing 
      social anxiety was developed by the authors, after which a pilot study was 
      conducted, evaluated for deficiencies, finalized, and implemented in the 
      following study. The final program entailed 13 sessions covering relaxation 
      training, cognitive restructuring and exposure components. To recruit the 
      participants for the intervention program screening tests were applied to 711 
      students of three different junior high schools in Izmir. 44 students 
      (treatment=24, control= 20) who met the inclusion criteria in the seventh and 
      eighth grades participated in the main study. Evaluation of the therapy program 
      was ascertained using the following instruments; for students, Negative Cognitive 
      Errors Questionnaire (CNCEQ), Cape Social Phobia Scale for Children and 
      Adolescents (CSPSCA), Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A); and for 
      parents, (SAS-P) was used to compare their pre-program and post-program tests 
      results. RESULTS: Repeated measures ANOVAs yielded significant Group X Time 
      interactions for SAS-A (F (1, 42) =7.511, p< 0.01, eta2 =0.15), CSPSCA (F (1, 42) 
      =6.54, p<.05) and CNCEQ (F (1, 42) = 8.295, p<0.01, eta2 =0.16) scores. Results 
      from parents further indicated that social anxiety in the treatment group had 
      decreased after program completion (F (1, 42) = 9.496, p=0.004, eta2 =0.18). 
      CONCLUSION: Consistent with the literature of school based Cognitive-Behavioral 
      Group Treatment (CBGT) programs for social anxiety, it was found that adolescents 
      in the treatment group exhibited a significant decrease in social anxiety and 
      related cognitive errors.
