Rp-Psychological Vulnerability and Its Relationship to Emotional Attention among University Students.pdf

The research problem is embodied in the following question
• What is the nature of the relationship between psychological fragility and emotional attention among university students?

The research objectives are defined as follows:

1.Measuring psychological fragility among university students.

2. Measuring emotional attention among university students.

3. Identifying statistically significant differences in psychological fragility among university students according to gender and specialization (scientific – humanities), and the interaction between them.
4. Identifying statistically significant differences in emotional attention among university students according to gender and specialization (scientific – humanities), and the interaction between them.

5. Exploring the correlation between psychological fragility and emotional attention among university students.

6. Investigating differences in the correlation between psychological fragility and emotional attention among university students according to gender and specialization.

7. Determining the extent to which the independent variable (psychological fragility) contributes to the total variance in the dependent variable (emotional attention) among university students.

The current research is limited to university students at the University of Karbala, according to gender (male – female) and specialization (scientific – humanities), and to morning study programs in the Holy Province of Karbala.
Temporal boundaries: The study is limited to the academic year (2024–2025).
It included a theoretical framework and previous studies on both variables (psychological fragility and emotional attention), which were reviewed to clarify their relevance to the current study.

The researcher adopted the descriptive–correlational method. The research population consisted of students at the University of Karbala, with a total number of (17,024) male and female students from both scientific and humanities specializations. A proportionate stratified random sample of (400) students was selected from all colleges at the University of Karbala, representing (2.34%) of the total population.

To achieve the research objectives, the researcher developed a Psychological Fragility Scale, which consisted of (29) items, after verifying its psychometric properties (validity and reliability). Additionally, an Emotional Attention Scale was prepared, consisting of (27) items, also validated for reliability and accuracy. Both scales used a five-point Likert scale (Always applies to me, Often applies to me, Sometimes applies to me, Rarely applies to me, Never applies to me).

The researcher reached the following conclusions:

1. The results showed that university students exhibit low levels of psychological fragility, which is attributed to their possession of effective behavioral and adaptive strategies that help them cope with psychological stress and deal with psychological factors in a balanced manner, enhancing their psychological stability.
2. The results also indicated that university students have high levels of emotional attention, reflecting their ability to perceive, monitor, and regulate their emotions consciously, which enhances their psychological and social adjustment within the university environment.

3. There is a positive correlation between psychological fragility and emotional attention.

4. There are no statistically significant differences in the relationship between psychological fragility and emotional attention according to gender (male – female).
5. There are no statistically significant differences in the relationship between psychological fragility and emotional attention according to specialization (scientific – humanities).

6. Psychological fragility contributes to raising the level of emotional attention among university students.

In light of the research findings, the researcher presented a set of recommendations and suggestions
