appearance anxiety of adolescents and metacognitive awareness. Social
appearance anxiety was a negatively correlated with metacognitive
awareness and its sub-constructs. As a result of regression analysis, the
linear combination values of procedural information, of self evaluation
and of explanative information significantly predicted social appearance
anxiety. As it was found that the participants with high metacognitive
awareness level had a low level of social appearance level. And also it
was stated that adolescent participants’ social anxiety level was varied
significantly according to metacognitive level and gender. However, this
variance was not seen as a result of the common effect of metacognitive
awareness and of gender. Also it was indicated that the mean of male
participants’ social appearance anxiety level was high. Results were
discussed in the light of literature.
