Abstract

The dual mediating effect was verified to investigate the relationship between internalizedshame, maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation, self-compassion, and social anxiety, and toprovide a basis for counseling and psychotherapy. Data from 290 college students wereanalyzed using SPSS 20 and AMOS 20. As a result, the final model in which maladaptivecognitive-emotional regulation and self-compassion acted as mediating variables in therelationship between internalized shame and social anxiety was adequate. The path ofmaladaptive cognitive emotion regulation was not significant, but the path of self-compassionwas significant. As a result of bootstrapping, the mediating effect of self-compassion betweeninternalized shame and social anxiety was significant, and the sequential dual mediating effectof maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation and self-compassion was also significant. Basedon these results, the implication and limitations of this study were discussed.
