다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of self-compassion on the relationship between social Physique Anxiety and cognitive state anxiety among artistic gymnasts, thereby providing a foundation for the development of a field-tailored psychological training program designed to maximize their performance. The study participants consisted of artistic gymnasts from high school, college, and adult divisions nationwide. Data from a total of 217 participants were used in the final analysis. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 31.0 to perform frequency analysis, correlation analysis, reliability, skewness, and kurtosis. Excel Office 365 was used to calculate mean and variance, as well as conceptual reliability values. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using AMOS 23.0, followed by mediation analysis using the Process Macro 4.1 program, yielding the following results. First, social Physique Anxiety was found to have a significant effect on self-compassion among artistic gymnasts. Second, when social Physique Anxiety and the mediating variable, self-compassion, were simultaneously included to analyze their effects on cognitive state anxiety, self-compassion was found to have a significant effect on cognitive state anxiety. In contrast, the direct effect of social Physique Anxiety on cognitive state anxiety was found to be statistically insignificant. Third, bootstrapping was conducted to verify the significance of the mediating effect. The results indicated an indirect effect whereby social Physique Anxiety affected cognitive state anxiety via self-compassion; since the 95% confidence interval did not include zero, the mediating effect was proven to be statistically significant. In summary, these results indicated that the relationship between social Physique Anxiety and cognitive state anxiety varied depending on the level of self-compassion.
