| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to assess the relationship between rigid cognitive style and social anxiety among secondary school students in Jerusalem, as well as to examine differences in rigid cognitive style and social anxiety by study variables (gender, current grade, previous grade average). This comes in light of the increasing importance of understanding the psychological and cognitive factors that affect students' mental health in Jerusalem. Employing a descriptive correlational research design, the study involved 176 students selected by the accessible method, who completed the Al-Sharif's scale (2019) to measure rigid cognitive style, consisting of (22) paragraphs, and Abdel-Fattah's scale (2014) to measure social anxiety consisting of (21) paragraphs. the results revealed significant relationships between rigid cognitive style and social anxiety. Additionally, the existence of differences in the degree of cognitive style (rigidity) only due to the gender and previous grade average variables, where the differences were in favor of males and an average of less than 60. However, no significant differences was found in the degree of social anxiety due to the gender and current grade variables, only due to previous grade average in favor of an average of less than 60. These findings emphasize the need for educational and psychological strategies to promote intellectual resilience and reduce social anxiety in students. These findings are an important step towards a better understanding of the psychological challenges students face in Jerusalem and how to effectively address them. | ||
