BACKGROUND
Previous studies have focused on the comorbidity of appearance anxiety and social anxiety, but few studies have focused on the protective role of self-compassion as underlying this mechanism, in young people like University students. With the increase of prevalence of appearance anxiety and social anxiety in this age group, it is necessary to explore factors that can buffer against the symptoms of these disorders. Therefore, the aims of this study were to research the effect of appearance anxiety and social anxiety, then to examine whether self-compassion has a protective effect on social anxiety.
METHOD
The study was cross-sectional and conducted online from October 2021 to November 2021 in Jilin Province, China. A total of 63 Universities in the province participated in this study, totaling 96,218 participants, of which 40,065 were males (41.64%) and 56,153 females (58.36%), the mean age of the sample was 19.59 (±1.74). The Appearance Anxiety Scale-Brief Version was used to measure appearance anxiety. The Social Anxiety subscale of the Self-Consciousness Scale was used to measure social anxiety. The Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form was used to measure self-compassion. A structural equation model (SEM) was run to examine the mediating effect of self-compassion on the relationship between appearance anxiety and social anxiety.
RESULT
Overall, appearance anxiety was positively associated with social anxiety [β = 0.334, 95% CI = (0.328, 0.341), < 0.001], and self-compassion could mediate the effect of appearance anxiety on social anxiety [β = 0.128, 95% CI = (0.124, 0.132), < 0.001]. Self-compassion played a partial mediating role between appearance anxiety and social anxiety.
CONCLUSION
Individuals with high appearance anxiety are also at higher risk of social anxiety, but self-compassion can buffer against this relationship. These findings begin to explore novel approaches to treat social anxiety and can provide valuable insights for self-compassion training.
背景
之前的研究集中在容貌焦虑和社交焦虑的共病上，但很少有研究关注自我同情作为这一机制的保护作用，特别是在大学生等年轻人中。随着这一年龄组中容貌焦虑和社交焦虑的患病率增加，有必要探索可以缓冲这些障碍症状的因素。因此，本研究的目的是研究容貌焦虑和社交焦虑的影响，然后检验自我同情是否对社交焦虑有保护作用。
方法
本研究是横断面研究，于 2021 年 10 月至 11 月在中国吉林省在线进行。全省共有 63 所高校参与了这项研究，共有 96218 名参与者，其中男性 40065 人（41.64%），女性 56153 人（58.36%），样本的平均年龄为 19.59（±1.74）。使用《容貌焦虑量表-简明版》测量容貌焦虑。使用《自觉量表》的社交焦虑分量表测量社交焦虑。使用《自我同情量表-短式》测量自我同情。运行结构方程模型（SEM）来检验自我同情在容貌焦虑和社交焦虑之间关系的中介作用。
结果
总体而言，容貌焦虑与社交焦虑呈正相关[β=0.334，95%置信区间（0.328，0.341），<0.001]，自我同情可以中介容貌焦虑对社交焦虑的影响[β=0.128，95%置信区间（0.124，0.132），<0.001]。自我同情在容貌焦虑和社交焦虑之间起着部分中介作用。
结论
高容貌焦虑的个体也有更高的社交焦虑风险，但自我同情可以缓冲这种关系。这些发现开始探索治疗社交焦虑的新方法，并为自我同情训练提供有价值的见解。
