Social Anxiety and Study Engagement in Adolescents: The Role of Self Cognition Model
Abstract
Study engagement is a positively learning status among adolescents. The aim of this study was to test if self-concept clarity and intentional self-regulation mediate between social anxiety and study engagement. Participants were 1597 Chinese adolescents (48.2%male, aged 13-23 years, M=17.45 years, SD=3.04 ;) they completed measures of social anxiety self-concept clarity, intentional self-regulation and study engagement. The study used structural equation modeling to test for a mediating effect; self-concept clarity and intentional self-regulation were found to fully mediate between social anxiety and study engagement. ISR and SCC indirectly affected SE had no significant. These findings suggest that self-concept clarity and intentional self-regulation underlie social effect on adolescents' study engagement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
