Objective: To test whether videoconferencing CBT-based massed brief psychoeducational group reduces social anxiety in Chinese university students. Methods: Online recruitment and random assignment compared a 2-day videoconference intervention with a waitlist control, with outcomes measured at baseline, posttest, and follow-ups. Results: The intervention improved social anxiety symptoms and knowledge. Conclusions: Videoconferencing CBT-based massed brief groups effectively reduce social anxiety and warrant larger scalability studies.

Participants in the intervention group attended a 2-day workshop via videoconference. Assessments were conducted at baseline (T1), posttest (T2), 1-month follow-up (T3), and 3-month follow-up (T4), using the Social Phobia Inventory, Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales–Short Form, Social Anxiety Knowledge Test, Social Anxiety Stigma Inventory, and Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale–Short Form. Results: The intervention group showed significant reductions in Social Phobia Inventory scores (β=−4.00, 95% bootstrap CI −6.55 to −1 .22; dT2-4=−0.97 to −0 . 81) and Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale scores (β=− 1. 37, 95% bootstrap CI −2.64 to −0 .08; dT3=−0.56), as well as significant increases in Social Anxiety Knowledge Test scores (β= .62, 95% bootstrap CI 0.05-1.17; dT2-4=0.86-1.53). No significant changes were observed in Depression Anxiety Stress Scales–Short Form, Social Anxiety Stigma Inventory, or Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale–Short Form scores . Conclusions: The findings indicate that videoconferencing CBT−based massed brief psychoeducational group was effective in reducing social anxiety among university students.
