Abstract
A quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of assertiveness training on social anxiety among adolescent girls in selected school, Kanyakumari. Quasi experimental, non-equivalent pre-test post-test control group design was adopted for this study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples. Out of the 312 samples, 152 samples were in study group and 160 samples in control group. The modified social anxiety scale was used to screen the study. For the study group the investigator gave assertiveness training. The duration of procedure was 1 hour. Each group consists of 15-20 members. The post test was conducted last week in study group and control group. The finding reveals that, in study group, 152(54%) adolescent girls had social anxiety and in control group population 160(56%) adolescent girls had social anxiety. In study group, during pre-test, 96 (63.16%) had mild social anxiety, 35 (23.03%) had moderate social anxiety, 15 (9.87%) had severe social anxiety and 6 (3.94%) had very severe social anxiety. In control group, 93(58.13%) had mild social anxiety, 38(23.75%) had moderate social anxiety and 19(11.87%) had severe social anxiety and 10(6.25%) had very severe social anxiety. During post-test, in study group 110(72.37%) had no social anxiety, 26(17.1%) had mild social anxiety, 12(7.9%) had moderate social anxiety and 4(2.63%) had severe social anxiety. In control group, 99(61.87%) had mild social anxiety, 39(24.37%) had moderate social anxiety and 17(10.63%) had severe social anxiety and 5(3.13%) had very severe social anxiety. The paired‘t’ value for the level of social anxiety was 16.405 which was greater than the table value 1.69 at p<0.05 level. It shows that assertiveness training was effective in reducing the level of pain in social anxiety. The Unpaired‘t’ value for study group and control group was 5.876 which was greater than the table value 1.67 at p<0.05 level. It shows that assertiveness training was effective in reducing the level of social anxiety. Hence, the research hypothesis (H1) is accepted. No significant association was found between the post-test level of social anxiety among adolescent girls in study group and control group with their selected demographic variables. Hence hypothesis (H2) is not accepted.
