Phobic disorders

Literature Review:
Needless to say, that having a phobia is normal for every sane person, as
everybody with a healthy mind is afraid of something. He or she could be afraid of
some creature (fictional and/or real), of some event, some situation etc. It is
identified by the person’s mind as a real danger to his/her existence, even when a
situation or an object appears to be objectively safe; therefore, every phobia is
considered to be an irrational reaction to objects (Bourne, 2005).

Methodology:
We have used Quantitative research method for Descriptive research in our survey.
The survey was done among all age group peoples around 51 persons responded to
our survey. The survey was done by using Google forms, we shared our forms in
various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and
LinkedIn. The survey was Self-Developed. We use Quantitative research to
Standardize data collection and generalize findings, we use statistical analysis to

Descriptive Statistics method, we make summary of our data and also used PIE
Charts, Scatter Bars and Tables to visualize our data.

Analysis of Data with Questions:
In The Past Months, Have You....

This question contains a general question about any phobia or situation. In this we
simply ask whether a person has been afraid of any situation or object in the past 6
months or more. This is just to check what percentage of people have had a phobia
for more than half a year. And according to our research 33.33% people said yes
33.33% said maybe and 33.33% said no, so after analyzing we got answer that
more than 50% people have phobia for more than half year.

According to our research, only 11.8% have an irrational, excessive fear that stems
from a specific object or situation. While 29.4% of individuals chose sometimes
and never, this means that most individuals do not have an irrational fear of any
situation or object.
According to our research only 54% of individual sometimes or occasionally has
reaction to their fear is way over top. This means that every 5 out of a group of 10
people show a high response to their fear.

According to our research, 37.3 percent have experienced an intense feeling of fear
from a particular situation. While 64.7 percent said that they have not faced any
situation and have not experienced any severe fear. Therefore, this means that most
people are not afraid of a particular situation.
It is surprising to hear that only 29.4% (15) of individuals are afraid of some
object/animal/situation or are always active. This means that 74.5% (36) of
individuals do not fear an object/animal/situation that always triggers their
immediate fear or anxiety.
Social Phobia:

According to our research, 44 percent of people had a fear of social situations that
almost caused them fear or anxiety. This means that 23 people tend to avoid social
gatherings simply because they experience some discomfort in any social
situations. It also means they are introverted or have social phobia.

In this question we check that 22 individuals want to avoid social situations and
that means that 42 percent of every 100 percent of individuals have social phobia.
They want to avoid or resist social situations because it can cause intense fear or
anxiety.
Acrophobia:

According to this study, most people do not have acrophobia as 39.2 percent said
they feel comfortable crossing a pedestrian bridge on a busy highway or 35.3
percent are slightly nervous, meaning they don’t have acrophobia. They are just
suffering from normal panic. While 11.7% of people have experienced anxiety or
extreme anxiety while walking on a pedestrian bridge on the highway.

According to our research these only 23.5% individual are feeling moderate while
looking at the city from the roof of a skyscraper. This doesn’t prove that they are
having acrophobia because looking down from the tall building can cause
moderate nervousness to anyone.

nervous in this situation or 18% feels moderate, in our point of view which is quite
normal.
Nomophobia:

According to our survey 45.1% totally agree or 27.5% are agree which is 72.6%
are in the agree to that they carry their mobile phone everywhere, even when they
move to another room at home. Which is directly letting us know that very huge

nomophobia. While 27.4% are in disagreement with our question. There is fact that
52.7% out of 72.6% of individual are teenagers or youngsters with in an age group
of (Below 18 & 18-25) 5.8% said they are in disagreement and they all are with in
the age group of (55+), so according to this we studied that our youth is having

question that they are having fear or anxiety of the open sea and 47.1% are neutral
while 33.3individual are disagreed with our question so its hard to know that how
many percent of individual have thalassophobia.

our individuals have fear of Ocean or deep water this means they have
thalassophobia.
