Correlates of chronic blushing.
In order to investigate factors associated with chronic blushing, 108 self-defined chronic blushers completed a series of self-report inventories. Severe chronic blushing was associated with social anxiety, state and trait anxiety and depression, but not with general physical sensations. Implications of the results for understanding chronic blushing are discussed.
