ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to test the dual mediating effects of dysfunctional beliefs and anxiety control on the relationship of maternal overprotection to social anxiety. The data comprised survey results on 456 undergraduate students aged 18 to 25 years old. The results of the Structural Equation Model(SEM) analysis indicated that only dysfunctional beliefs mediated the relationship of maternal overprotection to social anxiety. The dual mediating effects of dysfunctional beliefs and anxiety control were statistically significant for the relationship of maternal overprotection to social anxiety. Based on this finding, the paper discusses factors asscoiated with worsening social anxiety and effective intervention strategies for undergraduate students.
