Abstract Introduction: Psychological theories established a relationship between social anxiety and critical parenting. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prediction of social anxiety based on critical parenting, self-compassion, awareness and self-acceptance. Research method: The participants are 262 students from different educational levels, and the questionnaire related to this research was presented to the participants online, which included critical parenting, social anxiety, self-compassion, awareness, and self-acceptance put an assessment. Findings: The results indicated that this hypothesis is rejected and the fit of the model was not acceptable. Based on this, we removed the relationship between critical parenting and social anxiety, and the rest of the relationships were evaluated, but it had no effect on the improvement of fit. Therefore, we used the hierarchical regression method. We entered the predictor and criterion variables and the amount of changes was significant and 35% of the criterion variable (social anxiety) was explained by the predictor variables (critical parenting, self-compassion, awareness, and self-acceptance) and beta in the variable of self-acceptance and Awareness plays a significant role in this regard. Conclusion: Considering the importance of social dimensions in students' lives and in order to reduce their social anxiety, it is suggested that educational workshops be held for students to strengthen their compassion, awareness and self-acceptance.
