doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2023.01.010

Abstract

Abstract:

A questionnaire survey was conducted among 674 college students in Hubei Province to explore the influence of relative deprivation on social anxiety, focusing on the mediating role of core self-evaluation and the moderating role of self-focused attention. The results showed that: 1) relative deprivation positively predicted college students’ social anxiety; 2) core self-evaluation played a partial mediating role between relative deprivation and social anxiety; 3) self-focused attention moderated the second half of the mediation effect of core self-evaluation, specifically, the predictive effect of core self-evaluation on social anxiety was enhanced with the increase of self-focused attention.

Key words: relative deprivation, core self-evaluation, self-focused attention, social anxiety

摘要：

采用问卷法对湖北省674 名大学生进行调查，探讨了相对剥夺感影响社交焦虑的路径，考察了核心自我评价的中介作用和自我关注的调节作用。结果发现：(1)相对剥夺感可以正向预测大学生社交焦虑；(2)核心自我评价在大学生相对剥夺感与社交焦虑之间起中介作用；(3)自我关注调节了核心自我评价中介效应的后半段路径，即随着自我关注程度提高，核心自我评价对社交焦虑的预测作用增强。
