Abstract
This study explores the complex interplay between emotional intelligence (EI), social anxiety, and perfectionism. We investigate how these factors interact and influence one another. The research examines whether high levels of perfectionism contribute to social anxiety, and if emotional intelligence can act as a buffer against this negative effect. We explore potential mechanisms underlying these relationships, such as emotional regulation difficulties and self-criticism. The findings of this study will enhance our understanding of the factors that contribute to social anxiety and inform the development of interventions that target emotional intelligence and perfectionistic tendencies.
