Abstract: In this study, 1597 adolescents were recruited from 6 middle schools, high schools and universities. On the one hand, the characteristics of social anxiety, intentional self-regulation and academic engagement in the development of adolescents were investigated; On the other hand, the study was investigated to examine the mediating effect of intentional self-regulation and the moderating of puberty between social anxiety and academic engagement. The results showed:(1) As adolescence age, their levels of social anxiety decrease; Compared to middle and late adolescence, the level of academic engagement is low in middle adolescence; (2)The social anxiety can significantly negative predictor of the academic engagement of adolescents; (3)The intentional self-regulation plays a completely mediating role between social anxiety and academic engagement; (4)The mediating effect of intentional self-regulation in middle and late adolescence was significant, but the mediating effect of intentionality self-regulation is not significant in early adolescence. It means:(1)Adolescence can reduce their levels of social anxiety as they age; (2)Middle adolescence is faced with complex developmental tasks, which are not conducive to their academic engagement; (3)Social anxiety can significantly predict adolescents academic engagement, and intentional self-regulation is the intermediary bridge between middle and late adolescence.
