The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) the utility of mini-international neuropsychiatric interview (M.I.N.I.) for social anxiety disorder (SAD) diagnosis by self-report scale (MINI-SR) and (2) an appropriate criterion of group setting when descriptive statistics (mean value and standard deviation [SD]) were used. Three groups were set; 522 healthy students, 35 SAD students who met the SAD criteria according to the MINI-SR, and eight patients with SAD who met DSM-IV (APA, 1994) criteria for SAD. Results indicated that healthy students scored significantly lower than SAD students and SAD patients in all scales. The scores were not different between SAD students group and SAD patients group. The result reveals that using of the MINI-SR is appropriate to select the high-risk population of social anxiety. It showed that "mean value +1.5SD" criterion is appropriate when descriptive statistics were used.
