RESUMEN
The present correlational research aimed to test the relationship between Social anxiety, confidence and embarrassment, which have long been considered to be correlates of each other against the complex backdrop of social interaction. The sample consisted of 154 graduate and post-graduate students, out of which there were 76 males and 76 females. To measure level of social anxiety and social confidence, the Khalique et al. [2003] Social Anxiety and Social Confidence scale was used, and to measure Embarrassability, the Kelly and Jones [1997] Susceptibility to Embarrassment scale was used. Over all analysis using the Pearson's Product-moment coefficient indicated a highly significant positive correlation between Social Anxiety and Embarrassment at p < 0.001, and highly significant negative correlations between Social Confidence and Embarrassment, and Social Anxiety and Social Confidence at p < 0.001. On sub-analysis by gender, results showed that in females a highly significant negative correlation was found between Social Anxiety and Social Confidence at p < 0.001, whereas in males this correlation was significant at p < 0.01. Similarly, the negative correlation between Social Confidence and Embarrassment between females was found to be significant at p < 0.01 and at p < 0.05 in males. The positive correlation between Social Anxiety and Embarrassment in both males and females was found to be highly significant at p < 0.001
