Purpose of project

It was to determine the gender which is more susceptible to social phobia of youths from ages 14-19, as insufficient research that had been done to date on the relationship between gender and social phobia. Itmay be an important factor that can lead to more findings about cures for social phobia. Since adolescents’ girls have proven to be more vulnerable than boys to feelings of social phobia, this can have implications for their social functioning. Therefore, causes for the gender differences and treatments were suggested based on the results obtained from the survey and clinical interview to help adolescents with social phobia.
