This research analyzes the relationship between alexithymia,internalization problems,self-esteem,and social support,aiming to explore the influence of alexithymia on college students'internalization problems,as well as the mediating role of self-esteem and social support.The researchers conducted a questionnaire survey on 1,004 college students in Anhui Province,and analyze the data with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS-20),the Depression,Anxiety and Stress Scale(DASS-21),the Self-Esteem Scale(SES),and the Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS).The results show that college students'alexithymia can significantly positively predict internaliza-tion problems,self-esteem plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between alexithymia and internalizing problems,social support plays a moderating role in the relationship between alexithymia and internalization prob-lems,and social support can also regulate the relationship between self-esteem and internalization problems.These findings show that college students'alexithymia not only directly affects internalization problems but also indirectly affects internalization problems through self-esteem.At the same time,social support can regulate the relationship between alexithymia and internalization problems as well as the relationship between self-esteem and internalization problems.
