Abstract:
This study examined the relationships among fear of negative evaluation, social anxiety, and coping styles in college students, with a focus on testing the mediating role of coping styles in the association between fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety. A sample of 338 college students completed the Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, the Coping Style Questionnaire, and the Interaction Anxiousness Scale. The results indicated that: (1) Fear of negative evaluation significantly and positively predicted both social anxiety and negative coping styles, and negative coping styles significantly and positively predicted social anxiety; (2) Negative coping styles partially mediated the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety. These findings elucidate the psychological mechanisms linking fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety among college students, thereby offering empirical insights for mental health interventions in this population.
为了明确大学生负性评价恐惧、社交焦虑与应对方式的关系,验证应对方式在负性评价恐惧和社交焦虑之间的中介作用,采用负性评价恐惧量表、应对方式量表以及交往焦虑量表,对338名大学生进行问卷调查和数据分析。结果表明:(1)负性评价恐惧显著正向预测社交焦虑和消极应对方式,消极应对显著正向预测社交焦虑。(2)消极应对方式在负性评价恐惧与社交焦虑中起到部分中介作用。研究揭示了大学生负性评价恐惧与社交焦虑之间的心理机制,为维护大学生心理健康提供了指导性建议。
