In this study, we examined the longitudinal measurement invariance of a 12-item short version of the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) in two 4-year longitudinal community samples ( Nsample 1 = 815, Mage T1 = 13.38 years; Nsample 2 = 551, Mage T1 = 14.82 years). Using confirmatory factor analyses, we found strict longitudinal measurement invariance for the three-factor structure of the SAS-A across adolescence, across samples, and across gender. Some developmental changes in social anxiety were found from early to mid-adolescence, as well as gender differences across adolescence. These findings suggest that the short version of the SAS-A is a developmentally appropriate instrument that can be used effectively to examine adolescent social anxiety development.

Kajian kuantitatif berbentuk tinjauan ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti tahap kebimbangan sosial di kalangan pelajar pintar dan berbakat di salah sebuah kolej pintar dan berbakat di Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Seramai 252 orang pelajar menengah rendah dipilih sebagai responden kajian bagi mewakili populasi pelajar pintar berbakat. Soal selidik kajian ini menggunakan soal selidik Skala kebimbangan sosial (Social anxiety scale) oleh La Greca dan Lopez (1998). Instrumen ini mempunyai nilai kesahan (reliability) yang tinggi iaitu dengan nilai pekali Alpha Cronbach .935. Data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS 23 menggunakan analisis deskriptif. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa tahap kebimbangan sosial pelajar pintar dan berbakat yang dikaji mempunyai tahap kebimbangan sosial yang tinggi (min=2.940). Usaha bagi membantu pelajar memahami dan mengurangkan kebimbangan sosial ini perlu dilakukan oleh pelajar sendiri, guru, staf sokongan, ibu bapa dan juga masyarakat bagi membantu golongan ini. Di akhir kajian ini, pengkaji mencadangkan pembangunan modul motivasi bagi membantu pelajar memahami serta dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan keunikan sosioemosi ini iaitu isu kebimbangan sosial dalam kalangan pelajar pintar dan berbakat muslim. This quantitative study was conducted to identify the level of social anxiety among gifted and talented students in one of the gifted and talented Institutions located in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. A total of 252 high school students were selected as respondents for this study to represent the gifted and talented students population. The questionnaires for measuring social anxiety used in this study is the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescent (SAS-A) by La Greca and Lopez (1998). This instrument, with Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.935, is highly reliable. Analysis of data using SPSS 23 was done through descriptive analysis. This study showed that the level of social anxiety among the respondents were high (mean = 2.940). Measures to help students understand and alleviate these social challenges need to be taken by students, teachers, support staff, parents and the community in order to better help these groups. At the end of this study, the researcher proposes the development of motivational module to help students understand and adapt to the uniqueness of this socioemotional issue of social anxiety among Muslim gifted and talented students.

Abstract: Problem: Epidemiologic studies show that social anxiety is among the most prevalent of all mental disorders and very less attention has been given to this area. Methods: The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify the adolescents with social anxiety and teach the JPMR technique to those who would score high on social anxiety scale. The data were collected from 193 high school adolescents using Demographic Proforma, Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescent and Tool to Assess the Associated Factors of Social Anxiety. The JPMR technique was administered to the adolescents with moderate to severe social anxiety. Findings: The study found that 52(27%) adolescents were having moderate social anxiety and there was significant association 2 (x2=15.297, p<0.05) between age of the adolescents and social anxiety. The significant related factors of social anxiety were parental strictness, parental conflict, teacher's strictness, peer rejection, troubled with appearance and being treated differently from siblings by parents. The Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique was found to be effective (t =10.646, df= 39, p=0.001) in reducing the social anxiety. Conclusion: Social anxiety is common among adolescents and many modifiable factors related to parents and teachers are associated with it. Appropriate interventions in an early time may help them to reduce it.
