Here, we investigated the relationship between social avoidance and depression in college students, explored the mediating roles of loneliness and trust, and the regulatory role of self-esteem, to provide a theoretical intervention approach based on internal mechanisms.
Using a simple random overall sampling method, 1,021 college students were investigated using self-rating depression, social avoidance and distress, loneliness, interpersonal trust and self-esteem scales.
There was a significant positive correlation between social avoidance and depression. Loneliness and interpersonal trust played chain-mediating roles between social avoidance and depression. The influence of social avoidance on interpersonal trust was regulated by self-esteem. Specifically, the social avoidance level of the low self-esteem group was more likely to be affected by interpersonal trust issues.
Social avoidance not only directly affects college students' depression, it also has indirect effects through interpersonal trust and loneliness. Thus, interpersonal trust and loneliness have chain-mediating effects between social avoidance and depression in college students, and self-esteem regulates the mediation process.
本研究旨在探讨大学生社交回避与抑郁之间的关系，探究孤独感和信任的中介作用以及自尊的调节作用，以期为基于内在机制的理论干预方法提供依据。
采用简单随机整群抽样法，运用自评抑郁量表、社交回避及苦恼量表、孤独感量表、人际信任量表和自尊量表对1021名大学生进行调查。
社交回避与抑郁之间存在显著正相关。孤独感和人际信任在社交回避与抑郁之间起链式中介作用。社交回避对人际信任的影响受自尊调节。具体而言，低自尊组的社交回避水平更容易受到人际信任问题的影响。
社交回避不仅直接影响大学生的抑郁，还通过人际信任和孤独感产生间接影响。因此，人际信任和孤独感在大学生社交回避与抑郁之间起链式中介作用，自尊调节这一中介过程。
