International students who have social anxiety problems may tend to avoid social interactions, feeling uncomfortable in the new social environment, and this could have an untoward impact on them academically. Some findings have shown that self-esteem are related to well-being and low level of anxiety. However, some other studies did not support this view. Hence, the aim of this study was to further clarify the relationship between self-esteem and subjective well-being on social anxiety among International students of Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) and to examine the level of social anxiety that is prevalent among them. There were 117 international students aged from 20-31 years old who participated. Research design was based on a quantitative approach using Pearson correlation and multiple regressions analysis. The instruments used were the Self-Esteem Inventory Short Form (SEl-SF), Subjective Well-Being scale - consisted of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE), and the Social Interactions Anxiety Scale (SlAS). The present study found a significant relationship and contribution from self-esteem and subjective well-being to social anxiety. There were negative correlations between them. However, self-esteem and Subjective well-being jointly made the larger contribution to social anxiety. In addition, a descriptive analysis showed that the participants of this study reported an average level of social anxiety. Thus, this study provides information about social anxiety problems among international students; it explains the contribution of selfesteem and subjective well-being as predictors of social anxiety among international students.
