Abstract

Self-focused attention has been considered to contribute to both psychopathology and psychotherapy. Thus Lee and Kwon (2005) developed the Scale for Dispositional Self-focused Attention in Social situation (SDSAS) in order to differentiate two types of dispositional self-focused attention in social situation, with postulating the existence of two types of dispositional self-focused attention, defensive self-focused attention and nondefensive self-focused attention. This study aimed to investigate if two types of dispositional self-focused attention distinguished by SDSAS can be differentiated on psychopathology measures. For this purpose, SDSAS and the Symptom Checklist-Revised (SCL-90-R) were measured among undergraduate students. First, correlation analysis between SDSAS and SCL-90-R showed that there was no significant correlation between general dispositional self-focused attention scale and psychopathology scores, whereas self-absorption scale was positively correlated with psychopathology scores. Second, defensive/nondefensive self-focused attention group and low self-focused attention group were selected by SDSAS and participants' levels of psychopathology were compared. Results revealed that defensive self-focused attention group showed significantly higher scores on psychopathology measures than nondefensive self-focused attention group and low self-focused attention group. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in psychopathology scores between nondefensive self-focused attention group and low self-focused attention group. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
