Abstract


Social Anxiety is a major problem. It's more than just shyness or nervousness around people. Children under 16 years of age constitute over 40 per cent of India's population and information about their mental health needs is a national imperative. So a study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of teaching programme on social anxiety among adolescents in selected schools. Sample size was 100 and stratified random sampling technique was used in this study. The mean value of overall social anxiety in 97 with a standard deviation of 9.46 in experimental group for the overall anxiety in control group, the mean value is 96.12 with a standard deviation of 10.51. The calculated t value (7.062) is greater than the table value. The comparisons of effectiveness of teaching programme on social anxiety among adolescents between experimental and control group shows that there was a significant level of reduction in social anxiety among adolescents in experimental group who had undergone the STP than those who did not undergo teaching programme.
