After completing a social anxiety and screening questionnaire, 266 (136 males and 130 females) were susceptible to this disorder. Then the obtained data entered the structural equation assumption model. In order to analyze the data obtained from Amos 24 software, it was used to compare the observed variance -curanese matrix (default model) with the reproduction variance-covariance matrix, to evaluate the model's ability to predict the criterion variable, and Also, it's fitting itself. .
