The Effect of Mentalization on Rejection Sensitivity of College Students: The Moderated Mediating Effect of Internalized Shame

Objective: The goal of this study is to investigate the influence of the moderated mediating effect of internalized shame by anger regulation on the relationship between mentalization and rejection sensitivity of college students. Methods: This study included 389 college students (males 160, 41.1%, females 229, 49.9%, M = 21.19, SE = 2.04). Participants completed self-report questionnaires designed to assess mentalization, anger regulation, internalized shame and rejection sensitivity. We analyzed the moderated mediating effect between variables using PROCESS Macro model 7 methods(Hayes, 2013). Results: The results of this study are as follows; First, internalized shame partially mediated the relationship between mentalization and rejection sensitivity. Second, anger regulation moderated the relation between mentalization and internalized shame. Third, the mediating effect of internalized shame was moderated by anger regulation in the relation between mentalization and rejection sensitivity. Conclusion: This study suggested that anger regulation moderated the mediating effect of internalized shame on the relationship between mentalization and rejection sensitivity. This study provides academic information that understands the importance of mentalization by confirming a protective factor of internal shame and rejection sensitivity.
