The present study examined the network structure of social anxiety and perfectionistic self-presentation. This was a correlational, network analysis-based study. 1,599 (74.5% female) undergraduate and general practitioner students from universities across the country completed the online version of the Ryerson Social Anxiety Scale (RSAS) and the Perfectionist Self-Presentation Scale (PSPS) using convenience sampling. Central and bridge symptoms were identified using the expected influence and the bridge expected influence indices. The case-dropping procedure was used to examine network stability. The accuracy of network edge weights was evaluated using the bootstrap method. The data were analyzed using the R version 4.3.1 and SPSS-22 software. Results showed that the non-display of imperfection has the greatest impact on other nodes in the network, followed by anxiety-provoking social situations and the interference of social anxiety with life. Also, the non-display of imperfection and anxiety-provoking social situations were identified as bridge symptoms. It can be concluded that the non-display of imperfection is the most important node in this network, and targeting it can improve social anxiety.
