- Background
This study examined the pathway by which internalized shame influences the tendency toward social media addiction through the mediating roles of social interaction anxiety and experiential avoidance.
Methods
Data were collected from 174 Korean adults who completed surveys measuring internalized shame, social interaction anxiety, experiential avoidance, and social media addiction. Linear regression and Process Macro were used for data analysis.
Results
Internalized shame affected social media addiction by mediating experiential avoidance, and the mediation effect of social interaction anxiety was not significant. However, the double mediating effect of social interaction anxiety and experiential avoidance on the relationship between internalized shame and social media addiction was significant.
Conclusions
People who chronically experience negative perceptions and shame about themselves seek stability through others; however, they experience anxiety in face-to-face interactions and use social media to control and avoid these anxieties. To effectively reduce the tendency toward social media addiction, intervention is required to avoid social interaction anxiety, rather than attempting to change maladaptive identity.

- Background
This study aimed to examine the effects of trait and situational factors on suicidality among illicit drugs abusers.
Methods
Data were collected from 185 illicit drugs abusers in Korea who completed a survey to measure the risk-taking trait, impulsive behavior, acquired capability for suicide, thwarted interpersonal need, and suicidality. Multiple regression and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted for data analysis.
Results
The risk-taking trait affected the acquired capability for suicide by partially mediating the impulsive behavior. Additionally, the interaction effect between thwarted interpersonal need and acquired capability for suicide on suicidality was identified.
Conclusions
The higher risk-taking trait of illicit drugs abusers induced higher acquired capability for suicide, which actuates the suicidal desire. Additionally, the repeated exposure of impulsive behavior mediated the path. Furthermore, acquired capability for suicide moderated the relationship between thwarted interpersonal need and suicidality. This study examined the effects of trait and situational factors on suicidality of illicit drugs abusers.

Abstract
PDF
- Background
This study aimed to examine the relationship between suicidality, stop drinking controllability, hopelessness, and social activity in a population sample of individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and to determine how AUD contributes to suicidal behavior.
Methods
A total of 252 participants diagnosed with AUD were surveyed, and multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results
Hopelessness fully mediated the relationship between the ability to stop drinking and suicidality. At low levels of social engagement, the relationship between hopelessness and suicidality was significantly modified by social activity.
Conclusions
The results of this study suggest that patients with AUD who were unable to successfully address their drinking problem and abstain from drinking were more likely to experience hopelessness. In addition, we concluded that hopelessness can lead to suicidal ideation or suicide attempts.
