Abstract

This study classifies ‘Self’ aspects into contents, structure and process, and analyzes the effects of the characteristics of each “Self” category on social anxiety. Specifically, this study verifies if maladaptive self-focused attention which applies to ‘self-process’ works as a mediating role on the effects of negative self-concept which applies to ‘self-contents’ and self-concept clarity which applies to ‘self-structure’ on social anxiety. For the purpose of verification, 432 college students completed Negative Concept of Social Self Scale, Self-Concept Clarity Scale, Self-Absorption Scale, and Social Phobia Scale. As a result, it turned out that the relationship between negative self-concept, self-concept clarity and social anxiety is partially mediated by maladaptive self-focused attention. That is, while negative self-concept and self-concept clarity have direct influences on social anxiety, they have indirect influences on social anxiety with maladaptive self-focused attention as a medium. Lastly, the clinical implications, limitations of this study, and the needs for the following studies are discusses.
