چکیده
هدف: در رویکردهای کارآمد دربارة چالش‌های سلامت روانی نوجوانان بر فهمِ عمیقِ عللِ مراقبت‌گرِ تحول بهینه، بهزیستی و بالندگیِ نوجوانان، تاکید می‌شود. بر این اساس، در این پژوهش، محققان با هدف پیش‌بینی اضطراب اجتماعی نوجوانان از طریقِ کفایت‌مندی اجتماعی آنها بر نقش میانجیگرِ نظم‌بخشی هیجانی، اصرار ورزیدند.
 
روش: در این پژوهش هبستگی، 449 نوجوان (251 دختر و 198 پسر) در بازة سنی 14 تا 17 سال، که با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری چندمرحله‌ای انتخاب شدند، به مقیاس اضطراب اجتماعیِ نوجوانان (پاکلک، 2004)، پرسشنامه شایستگی اجتماعی (ژو و ای، 2012) و پرسشنامه نظم‌بخشی هیجانی (گراس و جان، 2003) پاسخ دادند. به منظور آزمون مدل علّی میانجیگری نسبی، از روش آماری مدل‌یابی معادله ساختاری، استفاده شد.
 
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که مدل مفروض میانجیگری نظم‌بخشی هیجانی در رابطة کفایت‌مندی اجتماعی با اضطراب اجتماعی در نوجوانان، با داده‌ها برازش مطلوبی داشت. در مدل پیشنهادی، تمامی ضرایب مسیر بین متغیرها از نظر آماری، معنادار بودند و 50 درصد از واریانس نمرات اضطراب اجتماعی از طریق کفایت‌مندی اجتماعی و نظم‌بخشی هیجانی، تبیین شد.
 
نتیجه‌گیری: در مجموع، نتایج نشان داد که کفایت‌مندی اجتماعی به مثابة یک خصیصة بسیط با شمول همزمان وجوه و قلمروهایِ چندگانة شناختی، هیجانی، انگیزشی و رفتاری، از نوجوانان در برابرِ مشکلات درونی‌سازِ آسیب روانی مانند اضطراب اجتماعی، مراقبت می‌کند.

چکیده English

Aim: Effective approaches to addressing mental health challenges in adolescents require a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to their optimal development, well-being, and resilience. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between social competence and social anxiety in adolescents.
 
Method: This correlational study included 449 adolescents (251 girls and 198 boys) aged 14 to 17 years, selected through a multistage sampling method. Participants completed the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (Puklek, 2004), the Social Competence Questionnaire (Zhou & Ee, 2012), and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003). Structural equation modeling was used to test the causal model of relative mediation.
 
Results: The findings indicated that the proposed model demonstrated a good fit with the data. All path coefficients between the latent variables were statistically significant, explaining 50% of the variance in social anxiety through social competence and emotion regulation.
 
Conclusion: Overall, the results suggest that social competence, as a multidimensional construct encompassing cognitive, emotional, motivational, and behavioral aspects, serves as a protective factor against internalizing problems such as social anxiety in adolescents.
