The current study examined the hypotheses that social support and coping moderate and or mediate the relationship between a broad and a narrow form of social anxiety and eating disorder symptoms. One hundred sixty-nine female undergraduates at a private Midwestern university, completed measures of social support, coping, social anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that higher levels of social support are associated with a weaker association between social anxiety and eating disorder symptomatology. Low use of task- and avoidant-oriented (distraction) coping and increased use of emotion-oriented coping are associated with a stronger association between social anxiety and eating disorder symptomatology. Implications for research and clinical intervention are discussed.
社会支持和应对方式可以调节或中介广泛和狭义的社交焦虑与饮食障碍症状之间的关系。在一所中西部私立大学，169 名女本科生完成了社会支持、应对方式、社交焦虑、负面评价恐惧和饮食障碍态度和行为的测量。分层多元回归分析的结果表明，较高的社会支持水平与社交焦虑与饮食障碍症状之间的关联较弱有关。任务和回避应对（分散注意力）的低使用率以及情绪应对方式的增加与社交焦虑与饮食障碍症状之间的关联较强有关。讨论了对研究和临床干预的影响。
