        the development of cognitive and behavioral dimensions of social anxiety during adolescence was studied. Using multistage random sampling method, 276 female and 224 male students in Tehran were selected from three age groups of 12-13 years, 14-15 years and 16-17 years old and were administered the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (Puklek, 1997). Results of MANOVA suggested that 12-13 years old adolescents had higher means in the cognitive and behavioral dimensions of social anxiety than the other two age groups. Females had higher means in the behavioral dimension of social anxiety in all three age groups, whereas there were no gender differences in the cognitive dimenstion of social anxiety. Findings are discussed based on Elkind's socio-cognitive perspective and the effect of gender on socialization. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of sex and age differences in interpersonal difficulties of adolescents. Five hundred adolescents (276 females, 224 males) who were selected by multi-stage random sampling method, completed the Questionnaire about Interpersonal Difficulties for Adolescents (QIDA; Inglés, Hidalgo & Méndez, 2005). The results of multivariate of variance analysis (MANOVA) indicated that (1) sex and age factors had significant effects on the multiple dimensions of interpersonal difficulties, (2) girls obtained higher scores in the subscales of assertiveness, heterosexual relationships and public speaking, and boys obtained higher scores in the subscales of family relationships and close friendships, and (3) early adolescents in comparison with mid-adolescents and late adolescents obtained higher scores in the various dimensions of interpersonal difficulties. The differentiated model of sex effect for the various dimensions of interpersonal difficulties emphasizes the importance of sex-role socialization process. Also, the significant effect of age groups for the multiple subscales of interpersonal difficulties emphasizes the importance of Elkind's socio-cognitive perspective on adolescent development.      Manuscript profile
