Social Phobia Inventory

The Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) is a 17-item self-report measure of social anxiety disorder symptoms. Developed by Connor, Davidson, and colleagues in 2000, the SPIN assesses fear, avoidance, and physiological symptoms related to social anxiety. It is widely used for screening and monitoring social anxiety disorder in clinical and research settings.
