Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role mediating of co-rumination in relationship between self-esteem and self-compassion with anxiety in adolescents. The present research is the correlation study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population in this research included the high schools students of Tehran city in academic year of 1400-1401. The sample size was selected based on Kline model (2016) and with available sampling method (online method) of 300 students. Data collection tools included the anxiety inventor of Beck and et al (1988), self-esteem scale of Rosenberg (1989), self- compassion scale of Neff (2003) and co-rumination questionnaireof Davidson and et al (2014). Statistical analysis of data was performed using AMOS-24 software. Findings showed that self-esteem and self-compassion have the ability to predict anxiety both directly and indirectly through role mediating of co-rumination. Also, proposed model had an acceptable fitness to the data (RMSEA=0/072, P-value<0/05) and analyses also revealed that %56 of variance of anxiety was explained by self-esteem and self-compassion through the mediating role of co-rumination. Thus, the anxiety of adolescents is influenced by self-esteem, self-compassion and co-rumination. This finding can be used to design an intervention and a comprehensive approach to reduction of anxiety symptoms in adolescent community.
