Features of the socio-psychological status of students with social anxiety in the parental family

Aim. The manifestation of students with signs of social phobia features of their socio-psychological status in the parental family according to the degree of their proximity to parents and importance in the family system.

Methodology. The psychodiagnostic procedure was carried out using the questionnaire of social anxiety and social phobia by O. A. Sagalakova, D. V. Truevtsev and the selective drawing test "Family sociogram" by E. G. Eidemiller and V. V. Justitskis. The normality of the distribution was checked by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion with the Lilyfors correction; correlation analysis was performed by the Pearson r-criterion; m-group differences were determined using the Student's t-criterion.

Results. It is established that the peculiarity of the socio-psychological status of students with social phobia in the parental family is its low level according to the criterion of "importance of the student in the family" and high – according to the criterion of "equal proximity to both parents" (if students with social phobia are equally close to their father and mother, then the level of this proximity is high), and also, the fact that social phobic students have no close ties with either the general level of social phobia or its particular types.

Research implications. The obtained results can be used by university teachers and curators of student study groups; family counseling psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as in order to improve the psychological support of students at universities, in particular, in individual socio-psychological counseling and group psychological education on the problem of social anxiety, social phobia and its subclinical manifestations – confusion and communicative inefficiency in different assessment situation
