Abstract

The present study aimed to compare Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Social Skills Training (SST) in the treatment of social phobia among a sample of adolescent students. The population of the study consisted of 320 students in grades from ninth to twelfth at the Latin Patriarchate School in Al-Karak, Jordan. These students were administered a social phobia scale and a social interaction anxiety scale. Based on their scores on the two scales, forty five students were identified as socially phobic. These students were randomly assigned to three groups (15 per each), two experimental groups and one control group. One of the experimental groups received rational emotive behavior therapy, while the other received a training program on social skills. As for the control group, students in this group did not receive any treatment. Results showed that the REBT and SST were both significantly more effective (P < 0.05) than no treatment in reducing social phobia and social interaction anxiety. There were no significant gender differences (P > 0.05) in the effectiveness of the treatment methods.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى مقارنة العلاج العقلاني الانفعالي السلوكي بالتدريب على المهارات الاجتماعية في معالجة الرهاب الاجتماعي لدى عينة من الطلبة المراهقين. وتكون مجتمع الدراسة من 320 طالباً وطالبة في الصفوف من التاسع إلى الثاني عشر وهم من التابعين لمدرسة البطريركية اللاتينية في الكرك/الأردن. وقد طُبِّق عليهم مقياسان أحدهما لقياس الرهاب الاجتماعي والآخر لقياس قلق التفاعل الاجتماعي. وبناء على درجاتهم على هذين المقياسين تم اختيار عينة الدراسة التي تكونت من 45 طالبا وطالبة، تم تقسيمهم عشوائياً إلى ثلاث مجموعات، مجموعتين تجريبيتين ومجموعة ضابطة، حيث تكونت كل مجموعة من 15 طالبا وطالبة. وقد تلقت إحدى المجموعتين التجريبيتين برنامج علاج عقلاني انفعالي سلوكي، بينما تلقت الأخرى برنامج تدريب على المهارات الاجتماعية. أما المجموعة الضابطة فلم تتلقَ اي برنامج علاجي. وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن كلاً من العلاج العقلاني الانفعالي السلوكي والتدريب على المهارات الاجتماعية كان أكثر فاعلية من عدم المعالجة في تخفيض الرهاب الاجتماعي وقلق التفاعل الاجتماعي وكانت الفروق دالة احصائيا (α = 0.05). ولم تختلف فاعلية أي من الأسلوبين العلاجيين باختلاف الجنس ولم يوجد بينهما فروق ذات دلالة احصائية (α = 0.05). (الكلمات المفتاحية: الرهاب الاجتماعي، قلق التفاعل الاجتماعي، العلاج العقلاني الانفعالي السلوكي، التدريب على المهارات الاجتماعية).
