Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether experiential avoidance and post-event rumination mediate the relationship between lack Intolerance for uncertainty and social anxiety. A self-reported questionnaire survey was conducted face-to-face and online with 459 university students, and the measurement tools were the Korean version of the lack Intolerance for Uncertainty Scale(IUS) and the shortened Korean version of the Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire(MEAQ-24). The post-event rumination Questionnaire (PRQ), the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale(SIAS) and the Social Fear Scale(SPS) were used to measure social anxiety. The research results are as follows. First, lack of Intolerance for uncertainty, avoidance of experiential, post-event rumination, and social anxiety all showed a static correlation. Second, it was shown that experience avoidance and post-event rumination are single mediators in relation to lack Intolerance for uncertainty and social anxiety. Thirdly, due to the relationship between lack Intolerance for uncertainty and social anxiety, experience avoidance and post-event rumination were shown to be completely mediated in sequence. This study has implications in that it clearly revealed the avoidance and cognitive processes that individuals who lack the patience for uncertainty experience in the process of experiencing social anxiety. And based on the behavioral and cognitive characteristics revealed in the study, a follow-up study was suggested.
