Abstract

This article analyzes the gender characteristics of social anxiety among students from a psychological perspective. Social anxiety is interpreted as an emotional and psychological state that arises due to a person's fear of being evaluated by other people, the possibility of criticism or rejection. During the study, the level of social anxiety of students was studied using psychological methods and an attempt was made to identify differences between male and female students. The results of the study showed that the level of social anxiety is higher in female students than in male students. This is explained by the level of emotional sensitivity, the influence of social stereotypes, and high sensitivity to interpersonal relationships. The results of the study are of great importance in improving the activities of psychological services in educational institutions and developing the process of social adaptation in students.
