Previous studies have indicated a relationship between perfectionism and social anxiety symptoms, but the mechanisms between these concepts are not well-defined yet. This study focused on the mediator role of self-compassion in the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and social anxiety symptoms controlling self-esteem. It is hypothesized that maladaptive perfectionism would be related to lower levels of self-compassion and lower levels of self-compassion related to greater social anxiety symptoms controlling self-esteem. The sample consisted of 389 university students who completed a battery of instruments, including measures of The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), The Big Three Perfectionism Scale (BTPS), The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), and The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Simple mediation analyses with bootstrapping demonstrated that self-compassion has a significant mediator role in the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and social anxiety when self-esteem is not included in the model. However, results also revealed that the indirect effect of self-compassion is no longer significant when self-esteem is included in the model as a covariate. Findings suggest that self-compassion has no mediator role independent from self-esteem in the context of perfectionism and social anxiety.
以往的研究表明完美主义与社交焦虑症状之间存在关联，但这些概念之间的机制尚未明确界定。本研究聚焦于自我同情在适应不良的完美主义与社交焦虑症状（控制自尊）之间关系中的中介作用。研究假设为，适应不良的完美主义会与较低水平的自我同情相关，而较低水平的自我同情又与在控制自尊情况下更严重的社交焦虑症状相关。样本由389名大学生组成，他们完成了一系列测评工具，包括利博维茨社交焦虑量表（LSAS）、三大完美主义量表（BTPS）、自我同情量表（SCS）以及罗森伯格自尊量表（RSES）。采用自抽样法进行的简单中介分析表明，当模型中不纳入自尊时，自我同情在适应不良的完美主义与社交焦虑之间的关系中具有显著的中介作用。然而，结果还显示，当将自尊作为协变量纳入模型时，自我同情的间接效应不再显著。研究结果表明，在完美主义和社交焦虑的背景下，自我同情不存在独立于自尊的中介作用。
