Abstract: (152 Views)
Objective: The objective of the present study was to examine the emotional autonomy dimensions as predictors of self-focused attention and self-criticism among adolescents exhibiting hypochondriacal beliefs who were referred to educational counseling centers.
Methods: This investigation employed a correlational research design to analyze how the dimensions of emotional autonomy could forecast self-focused attention and self-criticism. The participants in the study were students identified as having hypochondriacal beliefs within the student population; given the limited number of individuals in this population, all 80 students were chosen as the sample through accessible sampling. Data collection involved utilizing the Emotional Autonomy Scale (EAS; Steinberg & Silverberg, 1986), the Self-focused Attention Scale (Woody et al., 1997), and the Levels of Self-Criticism Scale (Thompson & Zuroff, 2000). Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were applied for data analysis, while inferential statistics utilized Pearson correlation and regression techniques within the SPSS-24 software.
Results: The outcomes of the study revealed that the emotional autonomy dimensions significantly and positively predicted self-focused attention and comparative self-criticism among adolescents with hypochondriacal beliefs referred to educational counseling centers.
Conclusions: These findings offer valuable insights for guiding counseling interventions for teenagers with hypochondriacal beliefs.
