Abstract
The social evaluation construct has an important place in the explanation of numerous personal and social behaviors of an individual. Review of existing literature indicates the presence of many conceptually different aspects deriving from or related to social evaluation, but their real existence and usefulness seems questionable. Several scales depicting at least nominally different aspects of social context awareness were administered to a sample of 461 students to provide a better understanding of the relationship between various aspects of the social evaluation construct and to examine the possibility of a simpler description in terms of basic factors. Results show the existence of a substantial relationship between nominally different constructs and indicate that covered space could reasonably be well described by a smaller number of underlying factors.
