Abstract: The present study investigated the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety, proposed a moderated mediation model, and examined the mediation effect of intolerance of uncertainty and the moderation effect of interdependent self-construal.With random sampling method, 424 college students completed questionnaire measures of fear of negative evaluation, intolerance of uncertainty, interdependent self-construal and social anxiety disorder. The results indicated that:(1) The fear of negative evaluation has a positive effect on social anxiety. (2) The positive association between fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety was mediated by intolerance of uncertainty. (3) The mediation effect of intolerance of uncertainty was moderated by interdependent self-construal. The indirect effect was stronger for adolescents with high interdependent self-construal than for those with low interdependent self-construal. Thus,both mediation and moderation effects exist in the association between fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety disorder.

Key words: fear of negative evaluation, social anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, interdependent self-construal
