This This study aimed to examine the predictive roles of peer rejection and fear of negative evaluation in relation to social anxiety among adolescents in Peru. Methods and Materials: The research employed a correlational descriptive design with a sample of 378 adolescents selected based on the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. Participants were recruited from public and private secondary schools in Peru using stratified random sampling. Standardized instruments were used to measure the study variables: the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) for social anxiety, the Peer Experiences Questionnaire – Revised (PEQ-R) for peer rejection, and the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE) for fear of negative evaluation. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 27. Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationships between the dependent and independent variables, and linear regression was conducted to assess the predictive power of peer rejection and fear of negative evaluation on social anxiety. Findings: The results revealed that both peer rejection and fear of negative evaluation had significant positive correlations with social anxiety (p < .01). Linear regression analysis showed that both independent variables significantly predicted social anxiety (p < .001), with fear of negative evaluation emerging as the stronger predictor. These findings indicate that adolescents who experience higher levels of peer rejection and who exhibit greater fear of negative evaluation are more likely to report elevated symptoms of social anxiety. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of both interpersonal experiences and internal cognitive mechanisms in the development of social anxiety among adolescents. The findings suggest that addressing fear of negative evaluation and improving peer relationships may be key targets for early intervention and prevention strategies aimed at reducing social anxiety in school-aged youth.study aimed to examine the structural relationships between thought/action fusion, cognitive beliefs, mindfulness, and experiential avoidance with symptoms of OCD in a non-clinical population.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the predictive roles of shame proneness and fear of intimacy in explaining sexual avoidance among romantic couples. Methods and Materials: Using a correlational descriptive design, the study sampled 417 adult participants in romantic relationships from Peru, with sample size determined based on the Morgan and Krejcie table. Standardized instruments were used to measure sexual avoidance, shame proneness, and fear of intimacy. Data were analyzed using SPSS-27, applying Pearson correlation to assess the relationships between variables and multiple linear regression to examine the predictive power of the independent variables on sexual avoidance. Findings: Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive associations between sexual avoidance and both shame proneness (r = .48, p < .01) and fear of intimacy (r = .62, p < .01). The regression model was statistically significant, F(2, 414) = 161.83, p < .001, with an R² value of .44, indicating that the predictors jointly accounted for 44% of the variance in sexual avoidance. In the multivariate regression, both shame proneness (β = 0.33, t = 5.80, p < .001) and fear of intimacy (β = 0.49, t = 9.44, p < .001) significantly predicted sexual avoidance, with fear of intimacy emerging as the stronger predictor. Conclusion: The findings underscore the substantial influence of psychological factors—particularly fear of intimacy and shame proneness—on sexual avoidance behaviors in couples. These results highlight the need for emotionally focused and vulnerability-informed therapeutic interventions that target underlying emotional barriers to intimacy. Addressing these psychological dimensions may be essential for restoring sexual engagement and relational satisfaction in distressed couples.
