This study sought to examine the role of death anxiety as a transdiagnostic predictor of social anxiety symptomatology compared to self-esteem and intolerance of uncertainty, and to examine the relationship between measures of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity and death anxiety. A total of 591 participants, 445 females, average age 38.0 years (SD = 14.5), completed an online survey including background questions, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, the Social Interaction Anxiety and Social Phobia Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire, the Spirituality Scale, and the Death Anxiety Scale. No significant, independent relationship was found between death anxiety and social anxiety symptomatology, although self-esteem and intolerance of uncertainty were significant predictors of both measures of social anxiety, confirming the importance of these key transdiagnostic mediators as predictors of social anxiety symptomatology. A strong negative correlation was found between death anxiety and measures of both intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity in this general population sample not selected for high religious affiliation.

死亡焦虑、不确定性不耐受和自尊作为社会焦虑症状预测因子的比较

本研究旨在检验死亡焦虑作为社交焦虑症状的跨诊断预测因子的作用，与自尊和对不确定性的不容忍相比，并检验内在和外在宗教信仰与死亡焦虑之间的关系。共有591名参与者，445名女性，平均年龄38.0岁（标清= 14.5)，完成了一项在线调查，包括背景问题、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表、社交焦虑和社交恐惧症量表、罗森伯格自尊量表、不确定性不容忍量表、圣克拉拉宗教信仰强度问卷、灵性量表和死亡焦虑量表。在死亡焦虑和社交焦虑症状之间没有发现显着的独立关系，尽管自尊和对不确定性的不容忍是两种社交焦虑测量的重要预测因子，证实了这些关键的跨诊断介质作为社交焦虑症状预测因子的重要性。
