| Abstract | ||||
| Background: The current research aims to uncover the prevalence of anxiety as a state and trait among university students, as well as the relationship between the degree of anxiety and some variables such as type of study (scientific vs. theoretical colleges), gender (females vs. males), academic stage (early vs. advanced), and the relationship between students' alienation from their families and their anxiety levels. University stage is considered critical because it is the time of formation of students' concepts, their attitudes and maturation. Although, several previous studies focused only on future anxiety diagnosis of students, they didn't take into consideration their academic stage. Material and method: The study sample consisted of 339 male and female students, aged 19-24 years, from the Egyptian Russian University. The study tools consisted of applying the State-Trait Anxiety Scale for Adults (prepared by Abdel-Raqeeb Ahmed El-Beheiry, 2015). Results: • Statistically significant differences between the scores of scientific and theoretical colleges on the State-Trait Anxiety Scale for Adults in favor of scientific colleges. • Statistically significant differences between the scores of males and females on the State-Trait Anxiety Scale for Adults in favor of females. • Statistically significant differences between the scores of early and advanced academic stages on the State-Trait Anxiety Scale for Adults in favor of early stages. • No statistically significant differences between the scores of students alienated from their families and non-alienated students on the State-Trait Anxiety Scale for Adults. | ||||
