دراسة استكشافية للفروق بين الذكور و الإناث في كل من القلق الاجتماعى و تقدير الذات

Abstract EN

The aim of this research is to investigate the differences between males and females in both social anxiety and self-esteem.

Therefore, the Social Anxiety Disorder Scale (prepared by Mohamed Ibrahim Eid, 2000) and the Self-Estimation Scale (by Cooper Smith 1967 , translated by Farouk Abdel Fattah, 1981) are manipulated.

The study used a sample of (600) male and female secondary school students, divided into two equal groups picked up from Tameya Secondary School for Boys and Tameya Secondary School for Girls in Tameya Markez, Fayoum Governorate during the academic year 2017 – 2018.

The first group consisted of (300) males, and the second consisted of (300) females with ages ranging from (16-18) years.

Advocating a descriptive method, the study reached a number of results.

Significant among these is that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of male and female in the social anxiety scale in favor of females.

The study also showed the absence of a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of males and females in the self-esteem scale.
