Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale

The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) is a 24-item clinician-administered scale designed to measure the severity of social anxiety and avoidance in individuals with social anxiety disorder. Developed by Michael R. Liebowitz in 1987, the LSAS has become the gold-standard instrument for assessing social phobia in clinical trials and research settings, particularly valued for its dual measurement of fear and avoidance across diverse social situations.
