Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between social anxiety, depression and health in adolescence, adulthood and old age in the Portuguese population. This study followed a quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional design. Sampling was for convenience (n=849) between 14 and 98 years old (M= 49.72, SD= 22.59), distributed in four age groups: 12-19, 20-39, 40-59 and 60 years or older. The variables were evaluated with SPAI, SF-36 Health Survey and BDI. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated, taking into account the effect sizes. Positive and statistically significant correlations were found between social anxiety and depression. In addition, negative and statistically significant correlations were found with the health dimensions, decreasing with age. In general, the correlations of these with depression were higher than with social anxiety in all age groups. These results support a reduction in social anxiety, as well as an increase in depression throughout the life cycle in Portugal.
