<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to empirically examine the relationship between social anxiety and interpersonal communication skills in college students. Social anxiety is understood as an excessive fear of negative evaluation in social situations, while interpersonal communication is an individual's ability to convey and receive messages effectively in face-to-face interactions. This study was a quantitative study with a purposive sampling technique. The subjects were 100 college students.

Hypothesis testing was conducted using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis technique using AMOS software version 26. Based on the results of the data analysis, it can be concluded that there is a significant role between interpersonal. communication and social anxiety with a value of β = -0.512 and p = 0.000.
