The present research aimed to predict social anxiety symptoms based on the brain-behavioral systems with the mediation of rumination and difficulties in emotional regulation. The research method was a descriptive correlation. The statistical population of this research was made up of all the students of Azad University of Qom branch in 2023. The number of sample people was 310 people who were selected by the available sampling method. The instruments used were social anxiety questionnaires (SPIN) by Conover et al (2000), rumination (RRS) by Nolen Hoeksima and Morrow (1991), difficulties in emotional regulation (DERS) by Gertz and Romer (2004) and behavioral inhibition and activation systems (BIS/BAS) was by Carver and White (1994). Data analysis was done by the structural equation method. The findings showed that the tested model is a good fit. The direct effect of behavioral inhibition and activation systems on social anxiety symptoms was significant (p<0.001). Also, in the relationship between behavioral activation with social anxiety symptoms, rumination and difficulties in emotional regulation had a mediating role, respectively, at significance levels of 0.001. Therefore, according to the significant relationship between brain-behavioral systems and social anxiety symptoms, as well as the mediating role of rumination and difficulties in emotional regulation, therapists and counselors can improve the brain-behavioral systems, move in the direction of reducing the rumination and difficulties in the emotional regulation level of the students.
