INTRODUCTION
Rationale
Social anxiety is a common mental health issue that affects people everywhere in
disorder experiences severe and enduring worry or anxiety about social situations, which
can cause them to avoid them or to react to them in a distressing way. According to the
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a person's daily functioning, including their
ability to learn, work, and interact with others, can be profoundly impacted by the
disease. In college students, mental health concerns are very widespread, with anxiety
disorders being the most prevalent psychiatric issue, affecting about 11.9% of college
students, according to Pedrelli et al. (2015). The median age of onset for social phobia,
one of the many anxiety disorders, is between 7 and 14 years old. On the other hand,
according to Perrilli et al. (2015), panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorders, and post-
traumatic stress disorder frequently manifest themselves in the college years. In order to
enhance the mental health and academic performance of those who are afflicted, it can be
helpful to understand the factors that influence social anxiety disorder in university
students.

common problem among Filipino first-year university students. The results also
emphasize the value of taking into account a number of variables, including gender,
academic course, and secondary school history, when estimating the prevalence of social
anxiety disorder among university students (Reyes and Reyes, 2014). The association
between social anxiety and perceived social support (general, family, friends, and

all of which might make students with social anxiety symptoms worse. Additionally, a lot
of BSBA students feel pressure to keep up a good GPA, which may make them more
anxious. Studying the link between social anxiety and academic achievement among
BSBA college students can reveal important information about the particular difficulties
these students encounter and the elements that influence their academic performance.
Universities and educators can use this data to create interventions that support socially

SOCIAL ANXIETY
It’s been found that those who suffer from social anxiety have a “intense,
persistent fear of drawing attention to themselves in social situations, believing that their
flaws will be exposed” (Kashdan & Farmer, 2014, p.629). People who suffer from social

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Both cognitive and non-cognitive student characteristics (Lee & Shute, 2010; Lee
& Stankov, 2016) and the sociocultural setting in which students learn (Liem &

performance. This issue’s eight pieces investigate the extent to which students from

connection between students’ explaining methods for failure and their academic

Theoretical Framework
This study was based on previous researching using La Greca Theory (Garcia-
Lopez et al., 2011). Greca and Lopez define social anxiety as a recurring fear of social
situations that is associated with emotions of being watched, a fear of being embarrassed,
and humiliation for one's own performance in the face of other people's judgments. A
teacher leadership style that is very evaluative can also contribute to social anxiety. And
that social anxiety is a collection of behaviors linked to a fear of circumstances and social
