Social Anxiety Symptoms in The Visually Impaired Versus Healthy Control: Saudi Arabian Samples by Alsubaie SS

“…Similarly, LSAS scores did not significantly differ between the two groups (32.63± 24.19 vs 36.68± 22.68, p=0.506).Conclusion: The findings suggest that visually impaired individuals do not have significantly different levels of self-esteem or social anxiety compared to their sighted peers, indicating that visual impairment may not directly contribute to lower self-esteem or higher social anxiety. Future research should involve larger, more diverse samples and longitudinal studies to further explore these relationships.Keywords: social anxiety disorder, self-esteem, visually impaired, sighted individuals, case-control study, Saudi Arabia…”
