INTRODUCTION

1.1

BACKGROUND OF REPORT Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD; also known as SocialPhobia) is defined by the fourth

edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as a marked and persistent fear of social or performance situations in which embarrassment may occur.Social phobia also known as anxiety disorder, involves intense fear of certain social situations especially situations that are unfamiliar or in which youll be watched or evaluated by others. On the other words social anxiety disorder is the fear of being scrutinized, judged, or embarrassed in public. In the early part of the 20th century, psychiatrists used terms such as social phobia and social neurosis to refer to extremely shy patients. By 1950s, South African psychiatrist Joseph Wolpe paved the way for later advances in behavioral therapy for phobias through his work developing systematic desensitization techniques. In 1960s to 1968s, British psychiatrist Isaac Marks proposed that social phobias be considered a distinct category separate from other simple phobias. In the second edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II), published by the American Psychiatric Association, social fears were described as a specific phobia of social situations or an excessive fear of being observed or scrutinized by others. At this point in history, the definition of social phobia was very narrow. (Cuncic, A. ,2010) At the beginning of 1980s, in the third edition of the DSM (DSM-III), social phobia was included as an official psychiatric diagnosis. In this edition, social phobia was described as a fear of performance situations, and did not include fears of less formal situations such as casual conversations. People with such broad fears were more likely to be diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder (which could not be diagnosed at the same time as social phobia). Five years after that (1985), Psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz and clinical psychologist Richard Heimberg initiated a call to action for research on social phobia. By the year of 1987, a revision to the DSM-III leads to changes in some of the diagnostic criteria. A diagnosis now requires that the symptoms cause "interference or marked distress" rather than simply "significant distress." It was also now possible to diagnose social phobia and avoidant personality disorder in the same patient. Finally, the term "generalized social anxiety disorder," referring to a more severe and pervasive form of the disorder, was introduced. (Cuncic, A. ,2010)

The DSM-IV is then published on 1994 and the term social anxiety disorder (SAD) replaces social phobia. This new term is used to refer to how broad and generalized fears are in the disorder. In this new edition, the disorder is defined as a "marked and persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or possible scrutiny by others." The diagnostic criteria are only slightly modified from the DSM-IIIR. The research is still running in progress since 1995. An enormous amount of research attention has been focused on SAD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques are developed and supported by evidence from scientific investigations. At the same time, four medications (Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, and Luvox) are approved for treating SAD. With the increased attention, many people who may have previously been misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all are receiving the help that they need. (Cuncic, A. ,2010) Research on SAD has increased dramatically over the past two decades. The National Comorbidity Survey found that SAD is the third most common mental disorder in the United States, with lifetime prevalence estimates of 13.3% (Kessler et al., 1994). Although many individuals with the disorder, especially those with the generalized subtype, report having been shy and socially anxious for as long as they can remember, the onset of SAD as a clinical disorder appears to follow a bimodal pattern, with one peak in early childhood and another in mid-adolescence (Dalrymple, Herbert, & Gaudiano, 2005; Juster & Heimberg, 1995; Stein, Chavira, & Jang, 2001). Despite its high prevalence, the disorder often goes unrecognized by professionals, and therefore untreated (Herbert, Crittenden, & Dalrymple, 2004; Wittchen, Stein, & Kessler, 1999). Without intervention, SAD tends to follow a chronic, unremitting course. The high prevalence of SAD, along with the high levels of distress and impairment associated with it, makes the disorder a major public health concern (Kashdan & Herbert, 2001; Lang & Stein, 2001). (Herbert, J.D. & Cardaciotto L.A, n.d) Social phobia is the most common anxiety disorder and the third most common psychiatric disorder, after major depressive disorder and alcohol dependence.( P. Shah & L.
Katari, 2010). The etiology of SAD remains unknown, although data suggest a role for both

genetic and environmental factors. Family studies have revealed robust familial linkages for the disorder (e.g., Fyer, Mannuzza, Chapman, Liebowitz, & Klein, 1993; Mannuzza, Schneier, Chapman, Liebowitz, & Klein, 1995; Reich & Yates, 1988; Stein et al., 1998). The temperamental style of behavioral inhibition in early childhood, characterized by shyness and restraint, avoidance, and distress in the face of novel situations, has been found to be associated with the subsequent development of SAD in adolescence (Schwartz, Snidman, &

Kagan, 1999). Retrospective reports indicate that individuals with SAD perceive their parents to have been socially isolated and to have encouraged excessive concerns about evaluation by others as well as social isolation. Approximately half of individuals with SADrecall a traumatic event that they believe caused or contributed to their condition (Stemberger, Turner, Beidel,&Calhoun, 1995). Further, cognitive models propose that SAD results from dysfunctional cognitive content as well as biased information processing. Although it is generally accepted that SAD results from the interplay of both genetic and environmental factors, the specific nature of these interactions has not been established. (Herbert, J.D. & Cardaciotto L.A, n.d). The purposes of study carried out are to identify the factors or causes contribute to the social phobia among students of Faculty of Applied Science in UiTM Shah Alam. Besides that, our high curiosities lead us to investigate the effects of social phobia in students life and better understanding about the signs or symptoms experienced by students relating to these phobias. Other than that, we would like to identify how far students knowledge regarding the possible treatment and prevention for social phobia. We also intend to investigate the possible types of social phobia situations faced by students whether in their daily life or throughout their lifetime. In addition, this study is to determine the knowledge of students on advantages of seeking treatments for social phobia. Lastly, we want to identify the level of awareness among students relating to social phobia. The objectives of this study are to inform students on aspects contributing to social phobia. Other than that, we also want to inform the effects of social phobia on students life and gain information regarding the symptoms experienced by students. Moreover, proper study can help us to inform others how to overcome the type of social phobia situations faced by students. Besides that, this medium can be used to inform students on the advantages of social phobia treatments and how to implement the possible treatments to treat social phobia. Most importantly, is to create awareness among students about social phobia.

CONCLUSIONS

It can be concluded that public speaking was most feared by students throughout their life. This is because most of them easily develop their nervousness whenever they intended to perform in front of public or under any circumstance involving public. On the other hand, uncomfortable of eating or drinking at the caf by themselves due to development of shyness and afraid people will watch their every move. As for fear of writing in the presence of public, its trigger is similar to public speaking, only the action content differ in which they will isolate themselves so people cannot see what is written and no judgments can be made towards their ideas or suggestion which potentially close up the conversation. Eventually, fear of social situation and meeting new people was the least of choice by the respondents and this may due to most of the people in their study place were among the familiar and maybe they have known since before further study in degree level. 3.4

Symptoms of social phobia


It can be concluded that majority of the respondents were basically facing a

psychological symptom such as extreme fear of being watched or judged by others especially by people they do not know. This is because the level of nervousness has rise to optimum where they are unable to control it, resultant in lost of control over their self consciousness and rise of shyness ahead of other emotions. Other than that, pounding heart and tight chest be the highest ranked chosen by the majority of the respondents as the most popular physical symptoms of social phobia. Those symptoms are caused by a rush of adrenaline that prepare the body to either fight or make a quit getaway in such social situation. With social phobia, this response gets activated too frequently and too strongly resulting the nervous feeling that might cause an individual to avoid from involving any of social activity.

3.5

Effects of social phobia in students life It can be concluded that self-therapy session, counseling, co-curricular activities and

undergo medication provide greater goods to students if they cannot cope with the social phobia. Self-therapy session covers emotionally, spiritually and physically by natural products remedies and relaxing massage. This way, it can help students to build up their positive attitude and aura within themselves. The whole person, with all his senses, with both mind and body, needs to be involved in genuine worship. Far from that, frequent regulation of seeing counselor will keep them updated about their progress from time to time. This can maintain students attitude and initiate social skills development. Whereby, involving and being active in cocurricular potentially increase the chances to reduce effects of social phobia. Co-curricular activities are participating by people from different background of education. It may help in developing interpersonal skills and make new friends. Undergo medication under doctors consultation may not be the best options, but it can reduce depression level for a period of time.

3.6

Seeking a Treatment It can be concluded that, most of students AS 225 (3A) are aware of seeking a treatment

for a social phobia problem and gradually facing your fears was the most popular choice. This is because fears and anxieties can be indirectly addressed by improving fluency skills as well as reinforcing non-avoidance of situations where the person is at risk of stammer. Avoidance keeps social anxiety disorder going. In fact, the more you avoid a feared situation, the more frightening it becomes. It is similar with the second highest ranked suggestion, which challenging negative thought. Again, it depends on them to challenge their negative thought. As a people who always thinking in negative sides, the people will have low self esteem. Social phobia will become worse if the sufferers have a negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute more to their anxiety.

3.7

Advantages of the treatments It can be concluded that majority of the respondents agreed that the treatments of social

phobia were strongly contributed in build up an individual self-esteem. This is because selfesteem is the corner stone of success that will facilitate an individual to face the challenges when it arise and give a faith to overcome it. They will become highly motivated, lack of anxiety and have the right attitude about their life as they build up the self-esteem. On the other hand, after seeking for an advantage, the best treatment regarding to the majority option was gradually facing the fears. Avoidance keeps social anxiety disorder going by preventing individuals from becoming more comfortable in social situations. Apart from that, by gradually decrease the fears; individual can boost their self-esteem and confidence level to become more friendly towards the society.

3.8

Types of Preventions It can be concluded that, most of students AS 225 (3A) are well inform about the social

phobia prevention and most of the students are familiar with therapy as the types of prevention physically while for the psychologically is avoid from stress. For physically prevention, most of the students choose therapies because it involves learning how to control the physical symptoms of anxiety through relaxation technique, help to challenging a negative thought, and learn to face the real situation that might be cause of social phobia. Where psychologically, avoid from stress is the popular choice. This is because stress will alter our condition mentally and physically which contribute to the feeling of laziness, helplessness and other form of other negative attitude. For instance, stress can lead to laziness in long period of times.
