Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper examines the serial multiple mediating effects of experiential avoidance and safety behaviors on the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety in early adults. Using structural equation modeling on survey data from 313 participants, the study identifies a sequential pathway where fear of negative evaluation increases experiential avoidance, which in turn intensifies anxiety through safety behaviors. The authors suggest these findings highlight a cyclical reinforcement mechanism involving cognitive avoidance and maladaptive behavioral responses.
