Abstract

In this study, researcher will explore whether psychodrama therapy, a more achievable and attractive to high school students, can alleviate social anxiety through 20 high school students from the International Department of Haidian Foreign Language Experimental School. The experiment consisted of one ice-breaking activity and five formal activities, and the results were quantified by the Comprehensive Interpersonal Relationship Diagnostic Scale. The results of the experiment show that psychodrama therapy has a significant effect in relieving social anxiety of high school students. The findings from this paper will be used in future schools to prevent and alleviate students' social anxiety through the use of psychodrama.
