Previous studies have shown a correlation between childhood trauma and social anxiety. However, the underlying mechanism of this association is not well understood.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between childhood trauma and social anxiety in adolescents, and to explore the mediating role of self-compassion and loneliness.
In total 1309 adolescents (531 of whom were female) were recruited, and their mean age was 15.4 ± 2.30 years.
Participants completed the Adolescent Social Anxiety Scale, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, Self-Compassion Scale, and University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationships among childhood trauma, self-compassion, loneliness, and social anxiety. The PROCESS Macro Model 80 was used for regression analysis to explore the mediating effects of self-compassion and loneliness on the relationship between childhood trauma and social anxiety.
After controlling for the influence of gender and parental marital status, self-compassion mediated the association between childhood trauma and social anxiety, in which positive self-compassion alleviated the relationship between childhood trauma and social anxiety, while negative self-compassion aggravated the relationship between childhood trauma and social anxiety. Furthermore, self-compassion and loneliness chain-mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and social anxiety.
These results offer theoretical support for the research and intervention of adolescents' social anxiety, and are crucial for developing adolescents' mental health education and promoting interpersonal communication.
先前的研究表明童年创伤与社交焦虑之间存在关联。然而，这种关联的潜在机制尚未得到充分理解。
本研究旨在探讨青少年童年创伤与社交焦虑之间的关系，并探究自我同情和孤独感的中介作用。
总共招募了1309名青少年（其中531名女性），他们的平均年龄为15.4±2.30岁。
参与者完成了青少年社交焦虑量表、童年创伤问卷简表、自我同情量表以及加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校孤独感量表。采用Pearson相关分析来研究童年创伤、自我同情、孤独感和社交焦虑之间的关系。使用PROCESS宏模型80进行回归分析，以探究自我同情和孤独感在童年创伤与社交焦虑关系中的中介作用。
在控制了性别和父母婚姻状况的影响后，自我同情在童年创伤与社交焦虑之间起中介作用，其中积极的自我同情减轻了童年创伤与社交焦虑之间的关系，而消极的自我同情则加剧了童年创伤与社交焦虑之间的关系。此外，自我同情和孤独感链式中介了童年创伤与社交焦虑之间的关系。
这些结果为青少年社交焦虑的研究和干预提供了理论支持，对于开展青少年心理健康教育和促进人际沟通至关重要。
