Problem Statement: The feeling of negative evaluation accompanying social anxiety is defined as being overly concerned with others' opinions, hiding from the negative feelings of their unfavorable impressions, avoiding situations where there is potential evaluation, and expecting others to have a low opinion of them. Social anxiety and fear of negative evaluation has been studied in various cultures. In order to measure the fear of negative evaluation dimension of social anxiety, the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation scale (BFNE) was developed. The BFNE was adapted for use with Turkish university students.
