Objective: The current investigation sought to elucidate the predictive relationship between social anxiety and the constructs of distress tolerance and emotional self-regulation among adolescents originating from divorced parental units in Shahr-e-Rey.
Methods: The methodological framework adopted for this inquiry was both descriptive and correlational in nature. The statistical population encompassed all adolescents enrolled in high schools situated in Shahr-e-Rey during the year 2024, who were systematically selected through the technique of cluster random sampling. The instruments employed for data collection included Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Distress Tolerance Scale, and Learning Motivated Attention and Regulatory Strategies (MARS). To evaluate the research hypothesis, multiple regression analysis was conducted.
Results: The findings indicated that both distress tolerance and emotional self-regulation exhibited significant predictive capabilities (P<0.05) concerning social anxiety among adolescents with divorced parents in Shahr-e-Rey.
Conclusions: In light of the findings derived from this study, it can be posited that if adolescents from divorced families effectively manage their emotional distress and achieve a satisfactory level of emotional self-regulation, they may experience reduced social anxiety and, in particular circumstances such as parental divorce, enhanced mental health outcomes.
