Abstract
This study aimed to verify the independent and sequential mediating effect of dispositional self-focused attention and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between self-discrepancy and trait-anxiety in college students. For this, data was collected about Self-Questionnaire, State Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y(STAI-Y), Scale for Dispositional Self-focused Attention in Social situation(SDSAS) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(K-CERQ) from 400 college students, and the Structural Equation Model analysis was conducted on the collected data using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0. As a result of this analysis, it was confirmed that dispositional self-focused attention and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies had significant independent and sequential mediating effects in the relationship between self-discrepancy and trait-anxiety. This study is significant in that it comprehensively confirmed the role of emotion regulation, which mediates the process of self-discrepancy leading to trait-anxiety, by dividing it into the dimension of emotional recognition and correction.
