dc.description.abstractThe experience of disgust directed to one's self-related characteristic or overall self is conceptualized as self-disgust. This stable and dysfunctional pattern is considered a vulnerability factor for different psychological problems, particularly depression. On the other hand, the need for empirical evidence to highlight the explanatory mechanisms of self-disgust related to psychopathology remains. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the mediator role of self-concealment in the association between disgust directed to self and psychological symptoms. The study was carried out with 495 university students (390 females, 105 males) whose ages were ranged between 18-30 (M = 21.55, SD = 1.98). Self-Disgust-Revised Form, Self-Concealment Scale, and Brief Symptom Inventory-25 were administered for data collection. The findings initially revealed a significant gender difference in which men had a higher tendency to conceal private information from others compared to women. In addition, correlation analysis yielded significant and positive correlations among self-disgust, self-concealment, and psychological symptoms. Finally, regression analysis revealed that self-concealment partially mediated the association between self-disgust and psychological symptoms. These findings contribute to the literature by pointing out possible explanatory mechanisms of self-disgust related psychological problems.en_US
