本研究旨在探讨大学生社交焦虑症状与述情障碍和人格维度的关系，并控制抑郁和焦虑对这种关系的影响。采用Liebowitz社交焦虑量表（LSAS）、Beck抑郁量表（BDI）、Beck焦虑量表（BAI）、多伦多alexiymia量表（TAS-20）和气质性格量表（TCI）对来自安卡拉两所不同大学的319名大学生（男85名，女234名）进行调查。我们发现LSAS量表（恐惧或焦虑和回避）与TAS-20量表的抑郁、述情障碍以及“情感识别困难”（DIF）和“情感描述困难”（DDF）量表呈显著正相关。伤害回避（HA）与LSAS各分量表呈显著正相关，而自我导向（SD）与LSAS各分量表呈显著负相关。高的TAS-20 DDF、HA和低SD可预测LSAS量表的恐惧或焦虑得分，而高的TAS-20 DDF、HA和抑郁得分可预测LSAS回避得分。虽然我们的样本不能代表整个土耳其大学生群体，但我们得出的结论是，恐惧或焦虑和回避主要与DDF和HA相关，尽管因果关系尚不清楚。2012爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
The aims of the present study were to investigate the relationship of social anxiety symptoms with alexithymia and personality dimensions in university students and to control the effects of depression and anxiety on this relationship. A total of 319 university students (85 males and 234 females) from two different universities in Ankara were investigated with the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). We found that subscales of the LSAS (fear or anxiety and avoidance) were positively correlated with depression and alexithymia and "difficulty in identifying feelings" (DIF) and "difficulty in describing feelings" (DDF) subscales of the TAS-20. Harm avoidance (HA) showed positive correlations with subscales of the LSAS, whereas self-directedness (SD) showed negative correlations with these subscales. High TAS-20 DDFand HA and low SD predicted fear or anxiety LSAS subscale scores, whereas high TAS-20 DDF, HA and depression scores were predictors for LSAS avoidance subscale scores. Although our sample is not representative of the whole Turkish university student population, we conclude that both fear or anxiety and avoidance were mainly interrelated with DDF and HA, although the causal relationship is not clear.
