[Interpersonal anxiety and the self-others cognitive system: a study of the Self-identity System].
This study examined the self-others cognitive systems of anthropophobia in terms of the (an) object relationship disorder. The Self-identity Systems of 259 students were measured to clarify visually the relationship between self and others in terms of self and others cognition and interpersonal anxiety. Cluster analysis and principal components analysis of the Self-identity Systems led to the appearance of five Self-identity System types for each sex. Low anxiety level subjects tended more toward the "self convergence type" while high anxiety subjects tended more toward the "self alienation type". These results suggest that disorder in the self-others cognitive system and the problem of self-identity relate to anthropophobia.
