The Relation Between Personality Style and Social Anxiety in Korean College Students: The Mediating Effects of Maladaptive Self-Focused Attention
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the prospective relation between two personality predispositions: sociotropy-autonomy and social anxiety, focusing on the mediating role of maladaptive self-focused attention; it was also to compare and analyze the effect of sociotropy-autonomy on the two subtypes of social anxiety(social interaction anxiety and performance anxiety). 356 undergraduate students completed self-report measures of the Revised Personal Style Inventory-II, the Self-Absorption Scale, the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale and the Social Phobia Scale. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results were as follows: First, the findings revealed that a maladaptive self- focused attention was found to partially mediate the relationship between sociotropy-autonomy and two subtypes of social anxiety. Specifically, the results of the structural equation modeling analysis indicated that both sociotropy and autonomy had direct effects on two subtypes of social anxiety, and indirect effects on two subtypes of social anxiety, mediated by maladaptive self-focused attention. Second, the maladaptive self-focused attention had relatively stronger mediating effects on the relationships between sociotropy-autonomy and performance anxiety, than the relationships between sociotropy-autonomy and social interaction anxiety. Third, sociotropy had a stronger predictive power for social interaction anxiety than performance anxiety, but there was no significant difference in the predictive power of autonomy for the two subtypes of social anxiety. Finally, the findings and implications of this study are discussed.
