Abstract
An Arabic version of the Wolpe-Lang Fear Survey Schedule III (A-FSS III) was administered to 520 Egyptian undergraduates (282 males and 238 females). Means, standard deviations and “ t” values were computed for the 108 individual items, the five subscores, 0,1,2,3 and 4, as well as the total score. Gender differences were salient and very high. Females exceeded males in almost all comparisons. Compared with Klieger's ( Journal of Behavior Therapy & Experimental Psychiatry 1992, 23,81–88) results, the vast majority of the Egyptian 108 item means are higher than those of their U.S. counterparts. Males and females rated the same seven items as among the 10 most fearful stimuli they could encounter. Eight out of the top 10 means dealt with fears in social or interpersonal contexts.
