A) 11-year-old boy
B) 14-year-old girl
C) 26-year-old female
D) 30-year-old male
Answer: B
A 14-year-old girl would be at highest risk for developing social anxiety disorder because social anxiety disorder (formerly known as social phobia) typically develops between the ages of 11 and 15, and phobias are twice as likely to develop in girls and women than in males. Social anxiety disorder almost never occurs after the age of 25.
