다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The primary goal of this study was to explore the influence of body image on social anxiety and to examine the mediating effects of self-efficacy in this relationship. To examine this hypothesis, Body-image Scale, Self-efficacy scale, Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents were administered to the 585 students and the data were analyzed through SPSS and Structured Equational Modeling. The results were as follows: First, negative body image was positively correlated to social anxiety and negatively correlated to self-efficacy. Self-efficacy had negative correlation with social anxiety. Second, there was full mediating effect of self-efficacy between body image and social anxiety, and model hypothesizing full mediating effects of self-efficacy showed appropriate fit indices. Therefore, negative body-image affects social anxiety only by decreasing self-efficacy. Implications for practice and further research are discussed.
