Abstract

This three-wave panel study sought to determine the extent to which social skills and stressful life events predict the development of psychosocial problems. At Time 1, 142 students completed a laboratory interaction and measures of social skills and depression, loneliness, and social anxiety. At Time 2 (four months later) and Time 3 (nine months later) participants again completed measures of psychosocial problems and a measure of stressful life events. Results indicated that poor social skills are causally linked, in small magnitude, to loneliness and anxiety, but less so to depression. All psychosocial problems worsened over time as a function of experiencing stressful life events. There was no evidence to suggest that social skills worsen over time as a function of experiencing depression, loneliness, or social anxiety.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
