Abstract
PDF Background: This study aims to analyze the effects of traumatic experience and post-event rumination which are known as occurrence and maintenance factors of social anxiety and verify the mediating effect of self-compassion to the relationship between traumatic experience and post-event rumination.
Methods: This study targeted 421 university students as research tools. Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS), Speech Anxiety Scale (SAS), Traumatic Experience Scale, Post-event Rumination Questionnaire (PRQ) and Korean-version of the Self-Compassion Scale (K-SCS) were used. The study results are as follows.
Results: The results showed that social anxiety was high and self-compassion was low when traumatic experience was more frequent and post-event rumination was more frequent. Self- Compassion showed mediating effect in traumatic experience, post-event rumination and social anxiety. It can be interpreted that self-compassion indirectly reduces social anxiety.
Conclusions: While existing social anxiety-related studies have been mostly focused on negative cognition, this study explored self-compassion as a positive variable to reduce social anxiety. In conclusion, this study shows the importance of self-compassion promotion, traumatic experience and post-event rumination in therapeutic intervention for people who experience social anxiety. Including this, the study has discussed its limitations and made suggestions.

Abstract
PDF
Background: This study was aimed to test the power of explanation of stress vulnerability for stress level, which is the subscales of IESS.
Methods: 237 University students (3∼4 grade) and late 20∼early 40’s administered IESS twice and these data were analyzed.
Results: Correlation between all scales of stress vulnerability and stress level were positively significant (r=0.18∼0.47). Results of multiple regression analysis suggested that regardless of test time, perfectionism and avoidance scale of stress vulnerability had the biggest explanation power for stress level and stress vulnerability could explain the future stress level significantly.
Conclusions: These results suggest that IESS which is consisted with stress vulnerability and stress level might be utilized to predict future stress.
