This study examined a possible pathway to better understand the relationships between Internalized Shame and Social Anxiety through Post-Event Rumination, Decentering, and Self-Compassion. In specific, the first aim of this study is to examine the mediating effects of the Post-Event Rumination that occurs at the path where ‘Internalized Shame’, which causes one to perceive oneself as worthless and as an inappropriate existence, causes ‘Social Anxiety’. The second aim of this study is to verify the moderated effects of ‘Decentering’ and ‘Self-Compassion’ that are assumed to operate on the path where Internalized Shame has a direct effect on Social Anxiety and to operate on a mediated indirect path that affects Post-Event Rumination. The self-report questionnaires regarding Internalized Shame, Social Anxiety, Post-Event Rumination, Decentering, and Self-Compassion were completed by 370 undergraduate students. The results of this study using the Process Models 8 and 15 of Hayes were confirmed as follows. First, Post-Event Rumination partially mediated the relationship between Internalized Shame and Social Anxiety. The mediating effects of Post-Event Rumination in the relationship Internalized Shame and Social Anxiety were moderated by Decentering and Self-Compassion. More specifically, Decentering acted as a protection factor on the path where Internalized Shame caused Post-Event Rumination, and that Self-Compassion acted as a protection factor on the path towards Social Anxiety after Post-Event Rumination started. In conclusion, Social Anxiety benefits from intervention targeting the Decentering and Self-Compassion by reducing the mediating effects of Post-Event Rumination. The implications of this research study and points of proposal for follow up research were also discussed.
