After collecting the data, the results are analyzed using determining correlation coefficients and statistical model of simultaneous multivariable regression. The results showed that all three variables of shyness, social self-efficacy and coping style had a significant relationship with social phobia and the pattern of social phobia prediction comprised of shyness and emotion-focused coping style.
