The aim of this research is to propose new models in understanding the relationship between social anxiety and experiencing positive and negative emotions and satisfaction with life in general. Its main focus is to explore the roles of different types of close relationships in these models.
The sample consisted of 521 female students attending University of Rijeka and University of Pula (average age 21.21 years). The participants completed The Big Five Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory-II, Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Social Phobia Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Attitudes Towards Emotional Expression Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule - Expanded Form, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Quality of Relationship Inventory and Friendship Quality Questionnaire. The results were processed using the program LISREL 8.
Two models have been tested. The first model includes the relationship between both types of social fears, beliefs about expressing emotions, emotional suppression, romantic relationship quality and the frequency of experiencing positive and negative emotions and life satisfaction. The second one included friendship quality, instead of romantic relationship quality. Both models are acceptable and draw out the powerful role of cognition in the aforementioned relations. This is achieved as a result of beliefs about the expression of emotions on other variables, and also confirms the mediatory role such beliefs have on social anxiety and emotional suppression. The models tested show the importance of the type of close relations we are following.
The contribution of this research lies in the point that it offers a more detailed insight into the complex relation between social anxiety and the experiencing of emotions, as well as the quality of life in general. This is achieved in the way that structural modeling has captured a part of the mediator mechanisms that have a role in this relation.
本研究的目的是提出新的模型,以理解社交焦虑与体验积极和消极情绪以及总体生活满意度之间的关系。其主要重点是探讨不同类型亲密关系在这些模型中的作用。
样本包括521名就读于里耶卡大学和普拉大学的女学生(平均年龄21.21岁)。参与者完成了大五人格量表、贝克抑郁量表第二版、社交互动焦虑量表、社交恐怖症量表、情绪调节问卷、情绪表达态度问卷、正负性情绪量表扩展版、生活满意度量表、关系质量量表和友谊质量问卷。结果使用LISREL 8程序进行处理。
测试了两个模型。第一个模型包括两种社交恐惧之间的关系、关于情绪表达的信念、情绪抑制、浪漫关系质量以及体验积极和消极情绪的频率与生活满意度。第二个模型用友谊质量代替了浪漫关系质量。两个模型都可以接受,并揭示了认知在上述关系中的强大作用。这是由于关于情绪表达的信念对其他变量产生的影响而实现的,并且也证实了这种信念在社交焦虑和情绪抑制方面的中介作用。所测试的模型显示了我们所关注的亲密关系类型的重要性。
本研究的贡献在于它更详细地洞察了社交焦虑与情绪体验以及总体生活质量之间的复杂关系。这是通过结构建模捕捉到了在这种关系中起作用的部分中介机制而实现的。
