The Relationship Among College Students’ Maladaptive Self-Focused Attention, Social Anxiety, and Depression: The Moderating Effect of Reassurance Seeking
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relative influences of college students’ maladaptive self-focused attention and reassurance seeking concerning both social anxiety and depression; it is also, to examine the moderating effects of reassurance seeking on the relationship between maladaptive self-focused attention and social anxiety, and also, between maladaptive self-focused attention and depression. For the study, 481 students from 10 colleges in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon and other areas were asked to complete questionnaires for the Scale for Dispositional Self-focused Attention in Social Situation (SDSAS), the Reassurance Seeking Scale (RSS), the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The results of this study are as follows; first, maladaptive self-focused attention, decision-making, social attachment were significant predictors of college students’ social anxiety, while maladaptive self-focused attention was the only significant predictor of college students’ depression. Second, reassurance seeking had a moderating effect on the relationship between maladaptive self-focused attention and social anxiety, but not on the relationship between maladaptive self-focused attention and depression. Based on the results of this study, the implications and limitations of this study as well as suggestions for future research were discussed.
