DR. Ocak Korhan Özduru Examination And Social Failure Anxiety
JournalCurrent Science Georgia
ISSN2667-9515
Author(s)Examination and social failure anxiety represent two of the most common psychological concerns among adolescents and adults in modern societies. Increasing competition in education, employment, and social environments has intensified the pressure placed upon individuals to achieve success and avoid failure. Consequently, anxiety related to examinations and social performance has become a significant factor affecting psychological well-being, academic achievement, occupational productivity, and interpersonal relationships. This study examines the psychological mechanisms underlying examination and social failure anxiety, explores their cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological dimensions, and evaluates their effects on individual functioning. The article further discusses contemporary intervention strategies including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, hypnotherapeutic interventions, resilience training, and educational support programs. Findings indicate that examination anxiety and fear of social failure are multidimensional phenomena influenced by personal experiences, family expectations, cultural norms, and neurobiological processes. Understanding these factors may contribute to the development of more effective prevention and treatment strategies.
