Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a debilitating condition characterized by a marked and persistent fear of being humiliated or scrutinized by others. It is the third most common mental health disorder and has its origins in adolescence. Accordingly, social relationships are particularly challenging for socially anxious adolescents. Therefore, we assume that self-confidence, which represents your belief in your own abilities, capacities, and judgments, plays an important role. This research aims to explore whether there is a correlation between self-confidence and social anxiety. It also aims to determine differences in selfconfidence and social anxiety according to age and grade. Individual data from 222 participants were collected using an online questionnaire that included general information, a self-confidence section, and a social anxiety section. The participants were secondary and high school students in Bangkok, Thailand. The collected quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficients and independent sample t-test within the Statistical Package for the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 29 program. The results indicate a significant correlation between self-confidence and social anxiety at the .01 level. Additionally, self- confidence did not show significant differences according to grade or age. The results also revealed that social anxiety does not significantly change based on grade or age.
