Öz yeterlik ve sosyal kaygı arasındaki ilişkiye dair çok sayıda bilimsel veri vardır. Bununla birlikte, Birleşik Krallık'ta yaşayan Türk yetişkinlerde öz yeterlik ve sosyal kaygı arasındaki ilişki hakkında çok az bilgi mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, 18 yaş üstü genç yetişkin örnekleminde genel öz-yeterlik, sosyal anksiyete, ve sosyal kaçınma arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Örneklem 18 ile 41 yaşları arasındaki 66 (46 erkek ve 20 kadın) genç yetişkinden oluşmuştur. Katılımcılar, Genel Algılanan Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği ve Liebowitz Sosyal Anksiyete Ölçeğini çevrimiçi olarak doldurdular. Erkekler, kadınlara göre daha yüksek genel kaçınma davranışları ve sosyal etkileşimden kaçınma bildirdiler. Sonuçlar öz yeterlik ile sosyal kaygı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki ortaya koymadı. Sosyal kaygı ve kaçınma davranışları arasında anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bulguların çıkarımları ve sınırlamaları makalede tartışılmıştır.

There is a wealth of evidence on the relationship between self-efficacy and social anxiety. However, little is known about the relationship between self-efficacy, social anxiety, and social avoidance in Turkish adults living in the United Kingdom. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between general self-efficacy and social anxiety in a sample of young adults over the age of 18. The sample consisted of 66 (46 males and 20 females) young adults aged between 18 and 41. Participants completed the General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale on-line. Males reported higher overall avoidance behaviours and avoidance of social interaction than females. The results did not reveal a statistically significant correlation between self-efficacy and social anxiety. A significant positive relationship was found between social anxiety and avoidance behaviours. Implications and limitation of the findings are discussed.
