This study investigated the effect of self-concept clarity on social anxiety in university students and analyzed the mediating effect of a gap between self-presentational motivation and expectancy in the relationship. Survey participants were 329 university students. Data analyses included correlations to assess relationships among variables, structural equation modeling to validate the model, and bootstrapping to verify the significance of the mediation effect. The results indicated that self-concept clarity has significant correlations with self-presentational motivation, self-presentational expectancy, a gap between self-presentational motivation and expectancy, and social anxiety. The mediating effect of a gap between self-presentational motivation and expectancy on the relationship between self-concept clarity and social anxiety was statistically significant. These findings suggest that university students whose self-concepts are uncertain and inconsistent may experience social anxiety symptoms as they have high self-presentational motivation but low self-presentational expectancy in social situations. Implications and limitations of this study are presented.
