대학생의 부정적 및 긍정적 평가에 대한 두려움이 사회불안에 미치는 영향: 자기냉담의 조절효과

Abstract

Objective: This study examined whether self-coldness moderates the relationship between negative and positive evaluation on social anxiety. Considering the characteristics of the subtypes of social anxiety disorder, both social interaction anxiety and performance anxiety were included.
 Methods: Two hundred and eighty-four students in a university located in Gyeonggi-do were asked to complete the measures assessing the fear of negative and positive evaluation, social interaction anxiety, performance anxiety, and self-coldness. After conducting descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed. 
 Results: The results showed that self-coldness moderated the effects of the fear of positive evaluation on social interaction anxiety and performance anxiety. Self-coldness also moderated the effects of the fear of positive evaluation on performance anxiety. However, there was no moderating effect on the effect of the fear of positive evaluation on social interaction anxiety.
 Conclusions: In intervening in social anxiety disorder, it may be useful to focus on both the fear of negative and positive evaluation and alleviate self-coldness. In addition, psychotherapeutic intervention should consider the subtypes of social anxiety disorder.
