| Summary: | This study aims to explore the relationship between the basic characteristics of college students’ social anxiety and the perceived social support and sense of coherence, and further explore the mediating role of the sense of coherence between perceived social support and social anxiety. A questionnaire survey of 420 college students was conducted using the Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and the Sense of Coherence-13(SOC-13). The results showed that: (1) The social anxiety in contemporary college students was very high, and the phenomenon of social anxiety of female is significantly higher than male. (2) College students’ social anxiety were significantly negatively correlated with both perceived social support and sense of coherence, and perceived social support was significantly related to sense of coherence. (3) Sense of coherence plays a partial mediation between perceived social support and social anxiety. This study provides theoretical support for revealing the mechanism between perceived social support and social anxiety.
