Abstract
The American Psychiatric Association identifies three different categories of phobia: Social Phobia, Agoraphobia, and Specific Phobia. When people talk about having a phobia of a specific object, they are referring to a specific phobia. A total of 2166 students was selected, out of which 671(N) from High schools, Intermediate (N=387) and Degree colleges (N=613) and University (N=495), distributed in and around Guntur. It is found that at all the levels Exam phobia is high compared to others. The study found that, except Exam and Acrophobia, all other fears are low in University students. As a whole exam, Acrophobia and Zoophobias are more in the students.
Keywords- Specific Phobia, therapy, High school, College, University
