Abstract

Previous research has discovered different subtypes of social withdrawal based on motivations to approach or avoid social interactions. Each of these motivations are uniquely related to indices of maladjustment during emerging adulthood, including aspects of the self. However, research has yet to investigate whether or not relationship quality moderates these associations. The purpose of this study was to examine whether relationship quality with best friends, romantic partners, mothers, and fathers, respectively, serve as protective factors in the negative links between shyness and avoidance and self-worth. The participants included 519 college students (Mage = 19.87, SD = 1.99, 61% female) from four universities across the United States. Results revealed that relationship quality with both best friends and romantic partners moderated the relation between shyness and self-worth. The differences between parent and peer relationships are discussed.

可以依靠的人:人际关系对社会退缩与自我价值之间关系的调节作用

先前的研究已经发现了基于接近或避免社交互动的动机的不同亚型的社交退缩。这些动机中的每一个都与成年初期的不适应指数有独特的关系，包括自我的各个方面。然而，研究还没有调查关系质量是否会调节这些关联。这项研究的目的是检验与最好的朋友、恋人、母亲和父亲的关系质量是否分别在害羞、回避和自我价值之间的负面联系中起到保护因素的作用。参与者包括来自美国四所大学的519名大学生(Mage = 19.87, SD = 1.99, 61%为女性)。结果显示，与最好的朋友和恋人的关系质量调节了羞怯和自我价值之间的关系。讨论了父母关系和同伴关系的区别。
