Objective:explore the relationships between self-esteem,rejection sensitivity,interpersonal trust and socialanxiety.Methods:411 undergraduates were investigated by Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale,Rejection Sensitivity Scale,Trust Scale and Interpersonal Anxiety Scale.Results:Self-esteem was positively related to interpersonal trust(r=0.147,P=0.003) and negatively related to rejection sensitivity(r =-0.238,P<0.001) and social anxiety(r =-0.170,P<0.001).Interpersonaltrust was negatively related to rejection sensitivity(r=-0.206,P<0.001) and social anxiety(r=-0.224,P<0.001).Rejectionsensitivity was positively related to social anxiety(r=0.223,P<0.001).Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showedthat the predictive effect of self-esteem on the interpersonal trust dropped from 0.147 to 0.104 and the predictive effect ofself-esteem on the social anxiety dropped from-0.170 to-0.124 when rejection sensitivity entered in the regression equationsas a predictor.Conclusion:Rejection sensitivity partially mediated the effects of self-esteem on interpersonal trustand social anxiety.
