related to social anxiety symptoms in a clinical sample of adults by examining whether experiential
avoidance and specific cognitive emotion regulation strategies (rumination, catastrophizing, and
reappraisal) mediate associations between mindfulness and social anxiety symptoms.
Methods: Statistical population of this study contained all the students with social anxiety disorder
in Lorestan University in the academic year 2016-2017. With purposive sampling method, 104
students with social anxiety disorder were selected. Subjects were assessed by Social Phobia
Inventory, Beck depression inventory II, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Social
Anxiety Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire. Data
were analyzed by SPSS and AMOS 22 software using structural equation modeling, and the model
fits the clinical sample well.
Results: In the model, the index demonstrated good fit (X2
24=36.13, P=0.053, GFI=0.92, AGFI=0.86,
CFI=0.97, NFI=0.92, TLI=0.96, RMSEA=0.07, CMIN/df=1.50), so that mindfulness facets
were directly associated with Sognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies (SERD) and experiential
avoidance. It was also found that cognitive emotion regulation strategies and experiential avoidance
were associated with social anxiety symptoms. Finally, the results indicated that mindfulness had
indirect effects on the social anxiety symptoms that were mediated by cognitive emotion regulation
strategies and experiential avoidance.
Conclusion: Our findings raise important implications for clinical health psychologists when
tailoring mindfulness-based treatments for SAD patients.

Finally, the results indicated that mindfulness had indirect effects on the social anxiety symptoms that were mediated by cognitive emotion regulation strategies and experiential avoidance.
In the current study, this conceptual model is designed to examine whether experimental avoidance and maladaptive cognitive emo- tion regulation strategies (rumination and catastrophiz- ing) and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (reappraisal) mediate associations between mindfulness and social anxiety symptoms.
The questionnaire package given to the patients con- sisted of six questionnaires, as outlined below: The So- cial Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Beck depression inventory II (BDI-II), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Question- naire (CERQ), Social - Anxiety Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (SA-AAQ), and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ).
Discussion</H2> This study investigated the associated mechanisms between mindfulness and mental health and suggests that the experimental avoidance and certain emotion regulation strategies significantly mediate the relation- ship between mindfulness and symptoms of social anxiety in adults."
