대학생의 내현적 자기애와 사회불안의 관계

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of covert narcissism on social interaction anxiety in university students and also to verify the double effects of socially-prescribed perfectionism and self-concept clarity in the relationship between the covert narcissism and social interaction anxiety.
 Methods For this, survey has been conducted on 288 male and female university students in the use of covert narcissism scale(CNS), social interaction anxiety scale(SIAS), socially-prescribed perfectionism scale (HMPS), and self-concept clarity scale(SCCS). For collected data, correlation among variables has been verified by using SPSS 24.0 and Process Macro along with dual mediation effect. At the same time, bootstrapping was conducted to verify the significance of indirect effect.
 Results Results of the study are as follows. First of all, it turned out that there was a significant correlation among the covert narcissism, social anxiety, socially-prescribed perfectionism, and self-concept clarity. Covert narcissism turned out to be significantly positively correlated with socially-prescribed perfectionism and social anxiety but to be significantly negatively correlated with self-concept clarity. Socially-prescribed perfectionism turned out to be positively correlated with social anxiety but to be significantly correlated with self-concept clarity. Social-concept clarity turned out to be significantly correlated with social anxiety. Secondly, socially-prescribed perfectionism turned out to be correlated with the covert narcissism and social anxiety. Third, self-concept clarity turned out to have a partial mediation effect in the relationship between the covert narcissism and social anxiety. Fourth, there was a dual mediation effect on socially-prescribed perfectionism and self-concept clarity in the relationship between the covert narcissism and social anxiety.
 Conclusions This study is meaningful to suggest a direction of efficient consultative involvement for university students with high level of the covert narcissism who visit counseling center due to social anxiety.

Effect of Trataka and Combination of Trataka and Vipassana on Anxiety of College Students

Abstract: The purpose of the present study the 30 male students were selected randomly as subjects from the B.P.Ed. class of Government College of Physical Education, Bhubaneswar, Odisha within the age group of 21 to 30 years of age. Anxiety was selected as the dependent variable for the study. Total subjects were divided into three groups (two experimental groups and one control group) equally having 10 numbers of subject in each group. A randomized group design was applied for the study. It is inferred that, though significant decrease in anxiety was recorded between pre and post test scores in both experimental groups, no difference was obtained among the three post test scores as there was initial numerical differences in pretest scores. This might have happened due to less number of subjects in the sample. Keeping in view of the present experimentation and analysis of results it can be concluded that, though a trend of effect was realised in the present study on the effect of experiment A and B group, a more robust inference or conclusion can be made with more number of subjects and differential duration and combination of experimental factors.

Predictability of Personality Traits and Perfectionism Types on Test Anxiety in College Students

This research was to understand how personality and perfectionism traits function together to affect test anxiety in college students. We compared personality, perfectionism, and test anxiety scores between male and female students and between Hispanic and non-Hispanic students. Our results showed significant differences in emotional stability, rigid perfectionism, self-critical perfectionism, and overall test anxiety. Regression and correlation analyses were used to assess the relationships between the Big Five Personality, the Big Three Perfectionism, and test anxiety. These factors collectively accounted for significant amounts of variance in test anxiety scores (33% - 65%). Comparison analyses were performed to determine whether there were prediction differences by sex and ethnicity. Female students’ test anxiety was significantly predicted by self-critical perfectionism, extraversion, and emotional stability, the same could not be said for male students. We share some limited findings regarding the male students in our sample but stop short of claiming that personality and perfectionism traits are not predictive of test anxiety in the population due to much smaller representation relative to female students. In our group of Hispanic students, self-critical perfectionism, rigid perfectionism, extraversion, and emotional stability all provided unique prediction of test anxiety. Non-Hispanic students’ test anxiety was predicted by self-critical perfectionism, extraversion, and emotional stability; however, narcissistic perfectionism emerged as a significant predictor only for this group. If universities are concerned with implementing effective initiatives for support of student learning and success, it is imperative that intentional consideration of the impact of non-cognitive skills and intersectional identities be considered.

A quantitative study of the relationship between attachment styles and psychological resilience in the context of social anxiety among college students

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to reveal the effects of attachment style quality and psychological resilience on college students’ social anxiety so as to provide new ideas for subsequent research on social anxiety. The study polled 450 college students using the Intimate Relationship Experience Scale, the Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Interaction Anxiety Scale. It then used statistical analysis to find out how attachment styles and psychological resilience are related in college students. It also looked at how attachment styles and psychological resilience affect social anxiety in college students. According to the findings, there was a significant difference in demographic variables and a significant correlation between attachment style and psychological resilience among college students. The mediating effect of psychological resilience between attachment style and social anxiety was 25.47% of the total effect, and psychological resilience mediated the effect of attachment style on social anxiety among college students.

Mental health of Brazilian students during the COVID-19 pandemic: the role of gratitude, optimism, and hope in reducing anxiety.

To investigate the role of optimism, hope, and gratitude as psychosocial factors for healthy development, especially with regard to anxiety in college students in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This is a quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Brazilian Gratitude Scale (Escala Brasileira de Gratidão [B-GRAT]), and the Brazilian versions of an anxiety subscale, the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R), Hope Index Scale, and BIG-FIVE were administered. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlations, and hierarchical linear regression. A total of 297 students were assessed. The relationship between gratitude and anxiety became positive in the hierarchical linear analysis, contradicting the initial negative association between these variables according to the Spearman coefficients. This contradiction may be a result of the suppression effect. When gratitude was added to the model, these three variables together accounted for 38% of the variance in anxiety. This indicates that optimism, hope, and gratitude together are significant predictors, although optimism alone accounts for the greater part of the variance in decreased anxiety. The data confirm that family and religiosity are protective factors against mental illness, specifically non-adaptive anxiety. Furthermore, developing optimism as a protective factor makes it possible to experience less anxiety while hope has the potential to provide the individual with multiple pathways to healthy development. This study highlights that gratitude plays a dual role in these relationships as it has the potential to be associated with anxious feelings with likely negative outcomes while at the same time it can drive positive psychosocial factors of optimism and hope, decreasing anxiety.

The relationship between physical activity and anxiety in college students: exploring the mediating role of lifestyle habits and dietary nutrition.

Physical activity has been shown to be effective in treating and improving anxiety in college students. However, no studies have been conducted to examine the relationship between physical activity and anxiety in college students through mediating factors such as dietary nutrition and lifestyle habits. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of lifestyle and dietary nutrition in the relationship between physical activity and anxiety. This study used a stratified random sampling method to survey 498 college students from three universities in Fujian, China. Data on participants' demographic characteristics, physical activity, lifestyle habits, and dietary nutrition were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. The proposed structural equation model was analyzed using Amos software. The results of the study showed that dietary nutrition and lifestyle habits had significant independent mediating effects and continuous multiple mediating effects (p < 0.01) in the effects of physical activity on college students' anxiety. Dietary nutrition and lifestyle habits played an independent mediating role, accounting for 24.9% of the total effect; there was also a continuous multiple mediating effect between dietary nutrition and lifestyle habits, accounting for 13.27% of the total effect value. In addition, physical activity had a direct effect value on anxiety in college students, accounting for 36.93% of the total effect value. By increasing the behavior and awareness of college students to participate in physical activity, supplemented by guiding them to develop regular lifestyle habits and correct dietary nutritional patterns, the anxiety level of college students can be effectively improved and reduced. This type of regulation is an important reference for the self-management and rehabilitation of college students with anxiety disorders. Future studies can experimentally develop a combined intervention of physical activity, lifestyle habits, and dietary nutritional to help college students better cope with anxiety.

Technology anxiety (technostress) and academic burnout from online classes in university students

Pandemic moments have generated mental and emotional problems in students at all levels. These have been affected by the format of virtual classes, the mandatory confinement and the little physical relationship due to the existing restrictions, generating academic burnout and anxiety in university students. In this context, the objective was to know the existing relationship between burnout and anxiety in students of the FIS-UNCP, the 15-question Maslach Burnout Inventory Student Questionnaire (MBI-SS) was used with the dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion, Cynicism and Loss of Academic Efficacy and 5 questions to know the level of technological anxiety or technostress, with a population of 328 university students of 10 semesters, through the questionnaire in Office Forms. The research design was non-experimental, transectional, with a qualitative-quantitative approach and descriptive-explanatory levels. The descriptive data analysis was made based on the scale, allowing the identification of students with burnout and the structural equation modeling facilitated the establishment of the relationship between the variables. The study showed that 26 students (7.93%) suffer from academic burnout. At the same time, it has been demonstrated that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional exhaustion and lack of academic efficacy, with technological anxiety with path values of 0.701 and 0.345 respectively, the p-values allowed demonstrating hypotheses 1 and 3 formulated. At the level of the structural model, it allows anticipating future results, since the coefficient of determination (R2) calculated was 0.838.

Experiencing art creation as a therapeutic intervention to relieve anxiety -a case study of a university's ceramic art course.

University students are anxiety prone. Due to their changing their social roles, the proportion of university students with anxiety is relatively high. In this study, using the simple random sampling, we surveyed 53 university students, including sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This paper examines the relationship between art creation and anxiety. This study uses the Self-Assessment Anxiety Scale (SAS). The test form measures the presence and extent of their anxiety problems through a series of questions. We tested the effects of an art creation process on SAS scores and suggest best practices for course settings and teaching methods for art-related subjects. Art therapy intervention reduced anxiety. The most effective technique was found to be slapping the clay board during the creation process. Other actions relieved anxiety as well. Results suggest that the art creation process is an application of art therapy effective in relieving anxiety in university students. Key actions in the process of creating art are closely related to the treatment approaches used in art therapy interventions. This has the potential to not only improve mental health, but also to promote the health and well-being of students. Implications for future research: Rapid societal changes increasing competition for employment creates work and life pressures. University students face challenges with learning, peer competition, and employment, often resulting in anxiety. A diversified curriculum can alleviate anxiety through proper curricular planning and design. Based on this, the university's arts courses should be able to study how to improve and optimize the existing teaching and learning outcomes and can be integrated with the university's general education curriculum planning. Through appropriate teaching content and learning methods, the courses of university general education can play a role in reducing students' anxiety and promote physical and mental health, thus contributing to sustainable development of the society.
