The purpose of this study is to analyze the mediated effect of ‘Self-Discrepancy’ on the effects between ‘Perfectionism’ and ‘Social Anxiety’ in university students. For this study, three research question was set and a survey was conducted on university students. And then 222 questionnaires were collected and analyzed with SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 25.0. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the ‘Perfectionism’, ‘Self-Discrepancy’, and ‘Social Anxiety’ of university students all showed a positive correlation. In addition, each sub-factor of ‘Self-Discrepancy’ and ‘Social Anxiety’ also showed a positive correlation. However, ‘Self-Oriented Perfectionism’ that is sub-factor of ‘Perfectionism’ didn’t show significant correlation with ‘Actual-Ought Self-Discrepancy’ that is sub-factor of ‘Self-Discrepancy’ and ‘Social Interaction Anxiety’ that is sub-factor of ‘Social Anxiety’. Second, ‘Self-Discrepancy’ of university students partially mediated between ‘Perfectionism’ and ‘Social Anxiety’. This results show the greater the discrepancy between what they think is ideal and what they are now, the greater the pressure university students feel to work hard to reduce this discrepancy. At this time, if they feel that the gap between actuality and ideal is too large to be reduced by their own efforts, they can concentrate on desperation or what ‘seems to be’ socially perfect, which can increase social anxiety. Third, when ‘Perfectionism’ affects ‘Social Anxiety’ through ‘Self-Discrepancy’, the degree of results varied depending on the path of the sub-factors. First of all, ‘Socially Prescribed Perfectionism’ was larger than ‘Self-Oriented Perfectionism’ in both direct, indirect, and total effects. These results suggest that depending on who contributes significantly to the goal setting, university students experience different degrees of ‘Self-Discrepancy’ and ‘Social Anxiety’. Furthermore, the ‘Actual-ideal self-Discrepancy’ had a mediated effect twice as high as the ‘Actual-Ought self-Discrepancy’. These results show they feel a greater sense of separation, if they don’t reach their goal when they want to reach it, rather than have to. This sense of separation further strengthens Social Anxiety. In conclusion, a detailed search for ‘Perfectionism’ and ‘Self-Discrepancy among university students in counseling with perfectionist tendencies will help reduce their social anxiety.
