Abstract
Social phobia is an irrational fear that is caused during certain social situations.
It is a specific response of a person to a social situation that disturbs normal functioning.
Social phobia is a very interesting topic and many researchers have conducted various
studies on this in the recent years. Therefore, a descriptive study was planned with
the objective to determine the prevalence of social phobia among adults. The findings
of the study can be useful in identifying the severity of social phobia and in finding
the association of it among adults with demographic variables. The study outcome revealed
that 10.08% had severe social phobia.
