Social Anxiety and Introversion in College Students

AbstractTo be er understand interrelationships of social anxiety, introversion, and self-esteem, 109 college students

completed the SPS, SIAS, EPQ-R-SS, and SERS. Moderator analyses indicated social anxiety and introversion were not moderated by self-esteem (p > .05). However, signi cant main e ects indicated a strong negativerelationship between social anxiety and selfesteem and a moderate positive relationship between socialanxiety and introversion. Problems with multicollinearity are likely to have masked relationships among variables. Chi-square analyses with the SPS indicated signi cant di erences between low and high self-esteemsubjects in the low (;( = 6.79,p < .001) and high social anxiety groups (;( = 7.94,p < .001). With the SIAS,signi cant di erences were found between low and high self-esteem subjects in the high (;( = 6.89,p < .001), but not the low (p > .05), social anxiety groups. Furthermore, results suggest that self-esteem may be astronger predictor of social anxiety than introversion. Results imply that methods for prevention, assessment,diagnosis, and treatment planning for social anxiety may be improved by considering the impacts of self-esteem and introversion.
