Abstract

The sole purpose of this study was to find out the relations between Social 
Anxiety and Fear of negative evaluation among Young Adults. The sample of 160 young adults was randomly selected from different educational institutions like Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula.. The Brief fear of negative evaluation scale (Leary, 1983) and Social Anxiety Scale (Liebowitz, 1987) were applied to collect the data. The Pearson correlation and t-test were used to test the hypotheses. The obtained results revealed that there is a positive relationship between social 
anxiety and fear of negative evaluation (r = .27, p <.05) & there exists a 
significant difference between the mean scores of social anxiety and fear of 
negative evaluation (2.13, t-value <.05) among young adults.
