Data were analyzed using correlation and regression. There is a significant relationship between mental health and self-esteem (r= -0.368, P<0.01). The relationship between mental health and social anxiety is also significant (r=0.213, P<0.01). There is a significant relationship between self-esteem and social anxiety (r=-0.453, P<0.01). Hierarchical regression shows that the variable of social anxiety in the relationship between self-esteem and mental health plays a mediator role.

The relationships between the variables of the study indicate that social anxiety in the relationship between self-esteem and mental health plays a mediator role.
