Abstract

Although social anxiety disorder (SAD) is widespread and associated with significant distress, its etiology is not yet fully explored. We aimed to examine how metacognitions and mindfulness interact with SAD symptoms. 531 college students were enrolled in this study. Participants completed the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), the Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), and the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). A path analysis was run to explore the associations between test variables. A positive correlation was found between metacognition and SAD symptoms, while mindfulness negatively correlated with SAD symptoms and metacognition. In the established path model, metacognition had an indirect effect on SAD symptoms, which is partially mediated by mindfulness. Our findings imply that metacognitions and mindfulness may influence SAD symptoms among young adults. Mindfulness seems to have a prominent role in regulating metacognition's effects on SAD symptoms. Therefore, interventions that accurately target these factors may alleviate the symptoms of this debilitating psychological disturbance.
元认知和正念在社交焦虑症状中的联合作用:一个路径模型
尽管社交焦虑障碍(SAD)广泛存在并与显著的痛苦相关,但其病因尚未得到充分探讨。我们的目的是研究元认知和正念如何与SAD症状相互作用。531名大学生参与了本研究。参与者完成了利博维茨社会焦虑量表(LSAS)、元认知问卷-30 (MCQ-30)和五方面正念问卷(FFMQ)。通过通径分析来探索测试变量之间的关联。元认知与SAD症状呈显著正相关,正念与SAD症状和元认知呈显著负相关。在已建立的路径模型中,元认知对SAD症状有间接影响,其中正念介导了部分影响。我们的研究结果表明,元认知和正念可能影响年轻人的SAD症状。正念似乎在调节元认知对SAD症状的影响中起着重要作用。因此,准确针对这些因素的干预可能会减轻这种使人衰弱的心理障碍的症状。
