Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effect of obesity on social shyness among middle school students by comparing those who engage in physical activity with those who do not. The study sample was purposively selected, consisting of 80 students of both genders with two levels of obesity (low obesity and moderate obesity). To achieve this, the descriptive approach was used. The results showed no statistically significant differences between obesity levels (low obesity and moderate obesity) and physical activity (active and non-active) in their impact on social shyness.
