摘要：The aim of this study was to determine which aspects of self- -concept and social perception could predict fear of negative evaluation as an aspect of social anxiety among adolescents. The participants were 225 high-school students (105 males and 120 females) from Zagreb. Fear of negative evaluation scale and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were administered. Adolescents also evaluated themselves and their classmates regarding five aspects of adolescent self-concept: school achievement, peer acceptance, self-competence, intelligence, and general physical appearance. Results showed that adolescents' self-evaluations of their intelligence were highest, followed by self-evaluations of peer acceptance. They expected highest peer evaluations of intelligence, and lowest peer evaluations of their physical appearance. Peer evaluations of physical appearance were lowest. There was a tendency of overestimation – adolescents' self-evaluations of peer acceptance, intelligence and physical appearance were higher than peer evaluations. Stepwise regression analysis was conducted which resulted in two significant predictors (result on Rosenberg self-esteem scale and peer evaluation of adolescent's self-competence) and two suppressor variables (self-evaluations of peer acceptance and intelligence). These variables accounted for 22% of the total variance of criteria variable (result on Fear of negative evaluation scale). The result on Fear of negative evaluation scale will be higher with a lower result on Rosenberg self- -esteem scale and lower peer evaluation of adolescent's self- -competence.
