Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was conducted to identify common and unique cognitive vulnerabilities to social anxiety and depression and then to evaluate their contributions simultaneously. To this end, based on previous studies, we developed an integrated model in which ‘repetitive negative thinking (worry and rumination)’ is a common cognitive vulnerability to social anxiety and depression, both ‘fear of positive evaluation’ and ‘fear of negative evaluation’ are unique cognitive vulnerabilities to social anxiety, and both ‘positive beliefs’ and ‘negative beliefs’ are unique cognitive vulnerabilities to depression. Structural equation modeling(SEM) was used to analyze data from a sample of 460 university students. SEM results indicated that the integrated model provided an adequate fit to the data. Of the two unique cognitive vulnerabilities to social anxiety, ‘fear of positive evaluation’ appeared to contribute to social anxiety more strongly than ‘fear of negative evaluation’, and of the two unique cognitive vulnerabilities to depression, the impact of ‘negative beliefs’ seemed to be stronger than that of ‘positive beliefs’. In conclusion, the results suggest the importance of considering both cognitive vulnerability factors common to social anxiety and depression symptoms and unique to each kind of symptoms in explaining, assessing, and treating social anxiety and depressive disorders.
