Abstract

This study aims to establish the model of predicting social anxiety in childhood with behavioral inhibition, parental attitude, self-efficacy, and personal/environmental characteristics of children. Participants were 546 students (186 males and 294 females) from 4th, 5th, and 6th grade elementary school located in Seoul, whose ages ranged from 9 to 13 (M=10.86, SD=1.19). The psychological tests used in this research included the following: the Korean version of Parker's Parental Bonding Instrument, LaGreca's Social Anxiety Scale, the Korean version of Carver & White's BAS/BIS Scale, and Jerusalem & Schwarzer's General Self-Efficacy Scale. Results revealed child's behavioral inhibition system as a temperament was most significant predictor of social anxiety among elementary school students. The self-efficacy plays the role of moderating effect on the influence of behavioral inhibition to social anxiety in childhood. It was found that father's parental attitude as well as mother's parental attitude was significant predictor of child's social anxiety, suggest roles of combination of both parents' attitudes and its combination with child's characteristics for social anxiety. It was discussed with de-identification from parents, temperament and goodness of fit, and person-environment fit, and suggested the information for the intervention of child's social anxiety.
