Many studies have shown that social phobia is the third common psychological disorder after alcohol use disorder and depression. So, it is important to investigate more on this matter.The aim of this study was predicting social phobia according to vulnerable narcissism and dimensions of perfectionism. Participants were 400 students of Tehran university those selected by random sampling and completed the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN: Connor, et.al, 2000), brief Pathological Narcissism Inventory (B-PNI: Shoenleber, et.al, 2015) and Multi-dimensional Perfectionism Inventory (MPS: Hewitt& Flett, 1998).The results of step by step regression indicated that vulnerable Narcissism predicted Social phobia and self-oriented perfectionism, and social-oriented perfectionism predicted social phobia too. Therefore, it can conclude that comorbidity of perfectionism and vulnerable Narcissism can strongly predict social phobia disorder. So, examination of these two traits can help to prevent and treatment of social phobia disorder.
