Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of internalized shame, maladaptive cognitive emotional regulation, and unconditional self-acceptance on interpersonal problems among college students. The participants were 312 college students(110 males and 202 females) enrolled in a four-year university in Korea, and an online survey was conducted using the Internalized Shame Scale, Maladaptive Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale, Unconditional Self-Acceptance Scale(self-acceptance as being, self-acceptance from judgment), and Interpersonal Problems Scale. The data from the survey were analyzed using PROCESS Macro 6. The results showed that, first, internalized shame had a direct effect on interpersonal problems. between internalized shame and interpersonal problems. Third, unconditional self-acceptance(self-acceptance as being, self-acceptance from judgment) did not mediate the relationship between internalized shame and interpersonal problems. Fourth, maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation and judgmental self-acceptance sequentially mediated the effects of internalized shame on interpersonal problems. Based on these findings, research implications, limitations, and suggestions are discussed.
