Abstract:

This study investigated the relationships between personality and shyness based on a sample of 752 undergraduates. Regression analyses and SEM were applied to detect the effects of personality on shyness as well as the mediating role of social support and the moderating role of coping strategies in the effects of personality. The major findings of the present study were: (1) there were significant effects of extraversion and neuroticism on shyness; (2) social support served to mediate the effects of extraversion and neuroticism on shyness; (3) self-accusation served to moderate the effect of extraversion on shyness; recourse served to moderate the effect of neuroticism on shyness, and the mediating role of social support.

Key words: shyness, personality, mediation, moderation, undergraduates

摘要：

以752名大学生为被试，考察了人格基本维度与羞怯的关系以及社会支持在其中的中介作用和应对方式在其中的调节作用。结果发现：（1）神经质对羞怯有显著的正向作用，外向性对羞怯有显著的负向作用；（2）在外向性、神经质对羞怯的作用中，社会支持起着部分中介作用；（3）外向性对羞怯的负向作用受到自责的调节，神经质对羞怯的正向作用受到求助的调节并且神经质预测羞怯的过程中，社会支持的中介作用也受到求助的调节。
