  • 소개/요약Objectives: The researchers investigated the relation between mindfulness and social anxiety symptoms, and examined whether this relation is mediated by cognitive appraisals commonly associated with social anxiety. Participants: Ninety-eight individuals diagnosed with social phobia. Design: Using a cross-sectional design, ordinary least squares regression and bootstrapping mediation analyses were used to test the study hypotheses. Results: Mindfulness was negatively related to symptoms of social anxiety. This relation was partially mediated by cognitive appraisals about the likelihood and cost of a negative social outcome. Conclusion: Further research using a longitudinal design and other measures of mindfulness is needed to replicate these findings and further explicate the mechanism by which mindfulness might be associated with negative cognitive appraisals.
