El estudio de la ansiedad social en estudiantes universitarios ha cobrado una especial relevancia considerando sus implicancias en el ajuste social y el bienestar psicológico de quienes la presentan. A pesar de ello, no existen instrumentos de evaluación que estén dirigidos específicamente a esta población, quienes cotidianamente se enfrentan a situaciones particulares que pueden ser potencialmente generadoras de ansiedad. Se presenta el Test de Ansiedad Social para estudiantes universitarios (TAS-U) aportando evidencias de validez y confiabilidad. Se diseñaron 68 ítems preliminares teniendo en cuenta literatura, escalas de antecedentes y consultas con expertos. Utilizando muestreo no probabilístico, se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios de una muestra de estudiantes universitarios argentinos. Se obtuvo una escala final compuesta por 27 ítems distribuidos en cuatro factores (CFI = .95, TLI = .95 RMSEA = .063 y WRMR = 1.19). Sobre la consistencia interna de la escala, los coeficientes alfa de Cronbach y de fiabilidad compuesta fueron buenos y excelentes para cada factor. Las dimensiones son coincidentes con factores evidenciados en estudios de otras escalas similares y con postulados teóricos conceptuales sobre ansiedad social.
