Background: Intimate relationships have a significant impact on college students, and the fear of intimacy seriously hinders the establishment and development of intimate relationships.
Objective: The objective of the study is to understand the
research progress on the fear of intimacy among college students and provide
reference suggestions for developing corresponding intervention measures.
Methods: A literature search was used to search for Chinese
or English literature in CNKI, Google Scholar, and PubMed using the keyword
"college students+ fear of intimacy".
Results: Thirty-three papers were included. The fear of
intimacy is an important predictor variable for the mental health of college
students, negatively predicting their interpersonal relationship quality and
subjective well-being, and positively predicting depression and anxiety. The
development of fear of intimacy is constrained by various factors such as
individual demographics, early experiences, current romantic experiences, and
psychological quality.
Conclusion: Previous studies have provided useful reference
opinions for understanding the mechanisms of intimate relationship-related
issues among college students and providing effective interventions, with good
theoretical and practical value. However, research methods need to be improved.
