Abstract:
Childhood is considered as an important and crucial stage in forming the personality and in fonnulating its characteristics.Studies show that several of those who are suffering of psychological disorders were exposed to shocks or problems during their childhood ; which left deep influence in their personalities.Fears constitute the cornerstone of many psychological disorders like anxiety , phobia , obsession and compulsion Besides, fear is closely related to anger, jealousy and lie.What adds to the importance of the study is that children are in an age where disorder can be easily changed or modified to build a stable personality.. To do this , it is necessary to devise an objective mechanism which enables us to investigate children fears.Aims of the study : The present study ai1ns at : 1.

The number of pupils in the pilot sample is 250. The main sample consists of 800 pupils ( 400 males and 400 females).

These axes are : School fears , animals fears , fears of nature , health fears , family fears , war fears , miscellaneous fears. The questionnaire was then given to specialists and experts of education and psychology so as to judge its reliability. Those items which were agreed upon by less than 80% were taken out and the items left were 82.To ensure the validity of the questionnaire procedures, overt validity and construction validity were followed. After completing these procedures , those items which did not sho\v statistic significance were taken out. Thus the total number of the valid items became only 58. Concerning the consistency of the questionnaire, it was checked by repeating the test. To find out the consistency coefficient , Pearson correlation coefficient was used and it equal 0.83.After administering the questionnaire and collecting the da , data analysis was done by using the percentage , Fischer equation T. test and the differential analysis.Results of the study : The researcher arrived at the following results : 1.
