Abstract

The present study is designed to find out the effectiveness of REBT on shyness among male and female adolescents in India. A total of 96 participants who had high levels of shyness (having scores more than 72) were selected for the intervention of the study, 48 students as experimental group and 48 as control group. The experimental group underwent REBT intervention for ten sessions. A post test was given to both groups after two weeks. Repeated measure ANOVA was applied to see the effectiveness of REBT on reducing shyness. The findings displayed a significant decrease in the total shyness scores from pre to post test situation irrespective of the groups. Further, gender-wise comparison revealed that male adolescents had significantly reduced shyness than female adolescents. Lastly, male adolescents in experimental group reduced more shyness than any other groups.
