ABSTRACT
This research about social phobia was conducted by a
nonprobabilistic sample with 381 college students, of different
public and private institutions of superior education. Both sexes,
different courses and semesters were considerated. An
instrument was elaborated to differentiate social phobia from
general anxiety, and other phobias. The confiability shows a
Cronbach’s Alpha of .879, and the validity obtained with factorial
analisis was of 51.309%, it represents five factors after analyzed.
The results were associated with a poor school performance on
high school, fear and sweating and to the different location where
institutions were found. As for social phobia in school, men
presented more symptoms than women; on the other side
women presented more rational fears and animal phobias
compared to men. Students from UNAM had more symptoms like
sweating and fear, and also rational fears, compared to the other
students. Finally, the students that had attend to previous
psychological treatment are more likely to present social phobia
that those who didn’t.
