Abstract

Social anxiety is a common problem. Several factors play a role in the development and maintenance of social anxiety. Since relationship with parents is specifically an important factor, it is important to examine social anxiety from an attachment theory perspective. Studies indicate that early maladaptive schemas and rejection sensitivity may play a role in the relationship between attachment pattern and psychological distress. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to examine the mediating role of early maladaptive schema domains and rejection sensitivity in the relationship between internal working models of attachment and social anxiety. The sample of the study consisted of 557 university students (199 male, 358 female) between the ages of 17-27 (M = 20.69, SD = 1.79). Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, Relationship Scales Questionnaire, Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form 3, and Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire were administered to the participants. Results of the mediation analysis with Bootstrapping showed that Impaired Autonomy schema domain and rejection sensitivity mediated the relationships between attachment self-model and social anxiety. Moreover, schema domains of Impaired Autonomy, Impaired Limits and Unrelenting Standards, and rejection sensitivity mediated the relationship between attachment other-model and social anxiety. The current study may contribute to the literature by providing an understanding of how the relationship between attachment and social anxiety may emerge. Clinicians aiming to increase clients’ functionality and quality of life should/could focus on their clinical practice on the above early maladaptive schema domains and rejection sensitivity.
依恋理论视角下的社交焦虑:早期适应不良图式域与拒绝敏感性的中介作用
社交焦虑是一个普遍的问题。有几个因素在社交焦虑的发展和维持中起作用。由于与父母的关系是一个特别重要的因素,从依恋理论的角度来研究社交焦虑是很重要的。研究表明,早期适应不良图式和排斥敏感性可能在依恋模式与心理困扰的关系中起作用。因此,本研究旨在探讨早期适应不良图式域和拒绝敏感性在依恋内部工作模式与社交焦虑关系中的中介作用。本研究的样本包括557名17-27岁的大学生(男199名,女358名)(M = 20.69, SD = 1.79)。采用Liebowitz社交焦虑量表、人际关系量表、青年图式短表3和拒绝敏感性问卷。基于Bootstrapping的中介分析结果表明,自主性图式域受损和拒绝敏感性在依恋自我模式与社交焦虑之间起中介作用。此外,自主性受损、极限与不放松标准受损和拒绝敏感性的图式域在依恋他者模型与社交焦虑的关系中起中介作用。目前的研究可能有助于理解依恋和社交焦虑之间的关系是如何出现的。旨在提高患者功能和生活质量的临床医生应该/可以将他们的临床实践重点放在上述早期适应不良图式域和排斥敏感性上。
