social anxiety and social competence of adolescents. The study was carried out at

years was randomly selected. Emotional quotient inventory youth version (EQi- YV)
by Baron, Kutcher Social Anxiety Disorder Scale for Adolescents (K-GSADS-A) and
Measures of Adolescence Social Performance (MASP) were used to find out the
emotional intelligence, social anxiety and social competence respectively. Data was
analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as independent samples t-test, ANOVA
and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results showed that girls experience more social
anxiety as compared to boys. Further analysis revealed a negative correlation
between emotional intelligence and social anxiety, a positive relation between
emotional intelligence and social competence and a negative relation between social
