<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>According to Rapee (1997), maternal social anxiety (SA) is directly associated with adolescent SA because maternal SA causes overprotective and controlling parental behavior. A total of 127 adolescents who were in the process of transitioning to a boarding school for at‐risk youth as well as their mothers participated in the current study, 30% of the adolescents had experienced at least one depressive episode; 17.5% had been diagnosed with SA.</jats:p><jats:p>We analyzed an expanding model of mediation, of maternal SA and depression in which specifically, adolescent self‐perception was constructed as a latent factor that was formed by self‐reported dominance and self‐criticism.</jats:p><jats:p>The results supported our hypotheses that maternal SA is not directly associated with adolescent SA. Rather, these relationships are mediated by adolescents' self‐perception (i.e., dominance and self‐criticism). The results call into question Rapee's theoretical arguments and support Gilbert's evolutionary theory.</jats:p>
