| Abstract | ||||
| The study aims to verify the factorial structure of war anxiety in a sample of adolescent students in Jordanian society and to estimate the relationship between war anxiety and emotional empathy. The study adopted the symptoms of general anxiety stipulated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and transformed them into statements using the GAD-7 list. Additionally, an emotional empathy scale was developed. A random sample was selected from Northeastern Badia schools (from the third grade to the ninth grade). The study tools were applied in a paper format for students to respond to. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, and the war anxiety scale achieved an acceptable fit in light of the sample data. The study also reached, using exploratory factor analysis, a three-member structure for the emotional empathy scale. The results of the Pearson correlation matrix were moderate and positive for the relationship between war anxiety and the dimensions of emotional empathy among adolescents, which means that cases of war anxiety are acceptable and moderate among adolescents and can be expressed in positive channels through behavioral manifestations of emotional empathy, such as rejecting foreign products and other common behaviors mentioned in the study. | ||||
