Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effects of self-compassion among personality,self-esteem and social physique anxiety in middle school students.Methods:The Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS),Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale for Chinese (EPQ-RSC),Self-Esteem Scale (SES) and Self-Compassion Scale(SCS) were used to measure social physique anxiety,extroversion,neuroticism,self-esteem and self-compassion.Results:Boys got lower SPAS scores [(38 ± 8) vs.(39 ± 7);P ＜ 0.05] than girls.The SPAS scores were negatively correlated with the scores of extroversion,SES,SCS(r =-0.54--0.26,P ＜ 0.01),while the SPAS scores were positively correlated with the scores of neuroticism (r =0.44,P ＜ 0.01).Self-compassion played a partly mediating role between neuroticism and social physique anxiety,self-esteem and social physique anxiety,the confidence interval from Bootstrap output were 95 ％ (0.09-0.21) and 95 ％ (-0.22--0.08).The effect of neuroticism and self-esteem accounted for 45.5％,39.0％ of total effect.Conclusion:It suggests that self-compassion could mediate the relation of neuroticism and self-esteem to social physique anxiety partially.
