Sažetak
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.
