Objective:To explore the relationship between social anxiety and sex role in college students,and to analyze the mediating effect of self-acceptance between them.Methods:Data came from a sample of 2000 col-lege students in Daqing,who were selected by stratified random cluster sampling method according to the constitu-ent ratio of the college students.We used the Interaction Anxiety Scale (IAS)to assess subjective experience of so-cial anxiety,Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI)to evaluate sex-role classification and Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (SAQ)to measure characteristics of self-acceptance.Results:In the college,the distribution of sex-role classifica-tion were androgynous 656 (34.9%),undifferentiated 650 (34.6%),masculine 287 (15.3%),feminine 284 (15.1%).The differences of gender in scores of IAS and SAQ were not significant (Ps >0.05),but there were significant differences among sex roles (P <0.001).IAS scores of feminine were significantly higher than the oth-ers,and the scores of androgyny and masculine were both lower than the other two significantly.SAQ scores offeminine and undifferentiated were both significantly lower than the other two respectively (Ps <0.05).By Boot-strap test,masculine,undifferentiated and feminine (vs.androgynous)could mediate IAS through self-acceptance, the mediating effects were 0.76 (95%CI:0.09 -1.42),4.14 (95%CI:3.43 -4.93),and 4.03 (95%CI:3.47 -4.64) respectively.There was a mediating effect.Both undifferentiated (vs.androgynous ) and feminine (vs.androgynous)directly influenced IAS significantly (Ps <0.05).Conclusion:Social anxiety may be related to sex role but not gender,social anxiety level of feminine students is higher,the sex-role types could influence social anxiety through self-concept indirectly.

Objective To know the point prevalence rate of social anxiety disorder(SAD) in Daqing University,and explore the influence factors about growth environment.Methods Data came from a large representative sample of 1878 university students,who were selected by stratified random cluster sampling methods according to the constituent ratio of students.They finished general situation questionnaire,interaction anxiety scale (IAS),adolescent self-rating life events check list(ASLEC),Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran(EMBU) respectively.According to the score of IAS,they were divided into 3 groups of high,mid and low.And then all of the high group,the 50% and 10% randomly of the mid and the low group respectively accepted the face-to-face interviews with 6 trained psychiatrists referred to SCID-I/P.Results Among 1878 Daqing university students,191 of them were diagnosed as SAD,with a point prevalence rate of 8.89%.The rate of rural students was higher than that in urban students(12.3% vs.8.5%,x2 =7.966,P=0.017),and the rate of non-only child was higher than only child (12.0% vs.9.1%,x2 =4.055,P=0.044).There were significant differences between SAD and No-SAD on many factors of ASLEC and EMBU.Logistic regression analysis showed that study stress in ASLEC(B=0.206),father's warm (B =-0.070),father's overprotection (B =0.286),mother's punishment (B =0.159),only child or not (B =-0.685) entered into regression equation.Conclusion The point prevalence rate of SAD in Daqing university students is 8.89% and influenced by several growth environmental factors.Only child or not,father's warm,father's overprotection,mother's punishment,study stress in ASLEC can forecast SAD occurrence.
