Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between normal variations in adolescent social anxiety, as reported by both youths and their mothers, and three key factors of identity formation: commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment. It also explored the moderating role of social participation and self-esteem in these relationships. Data from 186 mother-adolescent pairs revealed social anxiety negatively correlated with commitment and positively with reconsideration of commitment, especially when self-reported. The moderating effects of social participation and self-esteem varied based on the reporter of social anxiety, underscoring the importance of considering both perspectives. These findings contribute to our understanding of how socially anxious adolescents might struggle developing a cohesive identity and suggest potential interventions to support adolescents during this crucial period.
