“…On the other hand, the inadequacy of these cognitive skills also reduces coping abilities when encountering interaction and relational problems. It raises the risk of experiencing interaction anxiety (Liu et al, 2021). Following the present results, Uğur et al (2021) stated that the ability to tolerate the uncertainty of social interaction is related to dealing with the fear of negative evaluation by preventing this fear from leading to a pathological consequence.…”

“…At this point, working on cognitive flexibility may also have an essential role in boosting social self-perception and reducing interaction anxiety. Moreover, Liu et al (2021) demonstrated that adolescents with social anxiety are more likely to be exposed to bullying from peers. Therefore, cognitive flexibility can be a protective factor for peer bullying.…”

“…A study conducted considering the gender factor showed that the control dimension of cognitive flexibility did not play a mediating role in the relationship between avoidant attachment and social anxiety in men but partially mediated the relationship between social anxiety and avoidant attachment in women (Dağ & Gülüm, 2013). Another critical study revealed that cognitive flexibility has a mediating role in social anxiety and exposure to peer bullying (Liu et al, 2021).…”

Social anxiety has an increasing pattern during adolescence and is common among university students. It is associated with many adverse outcomes. Although there is considerable progress in social anxiety literature, there are significant gaps, and more research is needed to clarify causal pathways and moderator and mediator effects. This study evaluated the mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the link between fear of negative evaluation and interaction anxiety, which are two main symptom clusters of social anxiety. The sample comprised 552 undergraduate university students, 453 (82.1%) female and 99 (17.9%) male and 4 (0.7%) unspecified, from various departments. The study used self-report measures. Results showed that the fear of negative evaluation is significantly related to interaction anxiety, and cognitive flexibility demonstrates a partial mediation effect in this relationship. These findings contribute to the current literature by revealing cognitive flexibility as a mediator between fear of negative evaluation and interaction anxiety. The results suggest that working on cognitive flexibility may help prevent the development of interaction anxiety in university students.

“…According to the model that was established in this study, general self-efficacy was effective on social anxiety, but a part of this effect occurred via cognitive flexibility, and this effect was strengthened through the mediation of cognitive flexibility. Likewise, in a study that was carried out in China, cognitive flexibility was found to mediate social anxiety (Liu, Qian, Liang, Xie, and Wang, 2022). Similarly, in another study in China, it was determined that cognitive flexibility mediated anxiety and increased its severity (Yu, Yu, and Lin, 2020).…”

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı üniversite öğrencilerinde sosyal kaygı ile genel öz yeterlik arasındaki ilişkide bilişsel esnekliğin aracı rolünün incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında Türkiye’de farklı üniversitelerde lisans eğitimine devam eden 391 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Katılımcıların %67’si (n=263) kadın, %33’ü (n=128) erkeklerden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak Bilişsel Esneklik Ölçeği, Genel Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği ve Liebowitz Sosyal Kaygı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde t testi, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve regresyon tabanlı bootstrapping yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada ulaşılan bulgulara göre, kadınların sosyal kaygı düzeylerinin erkeklere göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Pearson Korelasyon Analizi sonuçlarına göre sosyal kaygı ile bilişsel esneklik ve genel öz yeterlik arasında negatif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra yapılan aracılık analizinde sosyal kaygı, genel öz yeterlik ve bilişsel esneklik arasındaki ilişkide bilişsel esnekliğin aracılık etkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular ilgili alanyazın çerçevesinde tartışılmış ve yorumlanmıştır.

“…Thus, victimization could negatively influence the self-perception of executive functions. As indirect evidence of this mechanism, a recent cross-sectional study concluded that self-reported cognitive flexibility mediated the association between peer victimization and social anxiety symptoms in adolescents (Liu et al, 2022).…”

Peer victimization can lead to dysfunctional cognitions and numerous internalizing psychological problems. Thus, it is essential to identify factors that can moderate the impact of victimization. This study aimed to analyze the potential moderating role of perceived executive functions (PEF) in the impact of peer victimization (traditional and online) on internalizing symptoms (depression and social anxiety), early maladaptive schemas (disconnection/rejection domain), and PEF in adolescents. A two-wave longitudinal study was carried out with 680 Spanish adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age (M = 14.58, SD = 1.36; 41.18% girls). Participants completed measures of self-reported executive functions, traditional and online victimization, early maladaptive schemas of the disconnection/rejection domain, depressive symptoms, and social anxiety symptoms in waves 1 and 2. Traditional and online perpetration was completed only in wave 1. The results indicated that when PEF were high (i.e., adolescents perceive that they have good executive functions), traditional and online victimization predicted more schemas of the disconnection/rejection domain and internalizing symptoms of depression and social anxiety. In non-victims, high PEF showed a protective role in the development of depressive symptoms and schemas of the disconnection/rejection domain. The findings highlight that PEF have a protective role that disappears when victimization (traditional and online) occurs.
