Research on the Relationship between Self-Esteem, Social Avoidance and Distress of College Students: The Mediation of Network Self-Presentation

摘要: 目的：探讨大学生自尊与社交回避及苦恼之间的关系；明确大学生网络自我呈现在自尊与社交回避及苦恼之间的中介作用。方法：选取国内多所高校432名在校大学生进行问卷调查。结果：① 大学生的自尊、真实网络自我呈现及社交回避与苦恼程度在性别、生源背景、家庭结构、年级等人口学变量上存在不同程度的显著差异；② 自尊与真实网络自我呈现呈显著正相关，与社交回避及苦恼呈显著负相关；真实网络自我呈现亦与社交回避及苦恼呈显著负相关；③ 自尊不仅能够直接负向预测社交回避及苦恼，还能通过正向预测真实网络自我呈现，进而间接降低社交回避及苦恼。真实网络自我呈现在此路径中发挥了显著的部分中介作用；结论：大学生自尊可以直接影响社交回避及苦恼；自尊也可以通过真实网络自我呈现间接影响社交回避及苦恼。

Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between college students’ self-esteem and social avoidance and distress, as well as the mediating role of online self-presentation in the relationship between self-esteem and social avoidance and distress. Methods: A total of 432 college students from China were selected to participate in a questionnaire survey. Results: ① Significant differences in college students’ self-esteem, authentic online self-presentation, and social avoidance and distress were found across various demographic variables, including gender, place of origin, only-child status, and grade level. ② Self-esteem was significantly positively correlated with authentic online self-presentation, and significantly negatively correlated with social avoidance and distress. Authentic online self-presentation was also significantly negatively correlated with social avoidance and distress. ③ Self-esteem not only directly and negatively predicted social avoidance and distress but also positively predicted authentic online self-presentation, thereby indirectly reducing social avoidance and distress. Authentic online self-presentation played a significant partial mediating role in this pathway. Conclusion: College students’ self-esteem can directly influence social avoidance and distress. Additionally, self-esteem can indirectly influence social avoidance and distress through authentic online self-presentation.
