Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between anhedonia,alexithymia and self-efficacy in college students.Methods 260 college students were tested with Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS),Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale (TEPS),20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20)and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES).Results (1) Males showed obviously higher level of SHAPS scores (24.91±5.14) and lower level of anticipatory pleasure of TEPS (TEPS-ANT) scores(31.81±5.79)than females (22.97±5.34 and 33.36±5.71,respectively).(2)Significant difference existed between the high-scoring,the middle-scoring and the low-scoring anhedonia group in TAS factor 1 (difficulty in identifying feelings) and GSES (F=3.11,5.30,P＜0.05 or 0.01),the scores of TAS factor 1 (difficulty in identifying feelings) in high-scoring anhedonia group were higher than that in low-scoring anhedonia group (20.24±4.94 vs 18.10±5.07,P＜0.01),and the scores of GSES in high-scoring anhedonia group were lower than that in low-scoring anhedonia group (24.97±6.72 vs 27.90±4.37,P＜0.01).(3)The SHAPS scores were positively related to TAS factor 2 (difficulty in describing feelings) and factor 3 (externally oriented thinking) (r =0.18,0.27,both P＜0.01),negatively related to GSES scores(r=-0.33,P＜0.01).Both TEPS-ANT and consummatory pleasure of TEPS (TEPS-CON) were negatively related to TAS factor1 (difficulty in identifying feelings)scores (r=-0.22,P＜ 0.01;r =-0.15,P＜ 0.05),positively related to GSES scores (r =0.28,0.26,both P＜0.01).(4)Layer multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the SHAPS scores were significant predictors of the general self-efficacy(β=-0.33,P＜0.01).Conclusions The anhedonia in college students has a closely relationship with alexithymia and self-efficacy,college students with high anhedonia have high level of alexithymia and low level of self-efficacy.
