Abstract:
What I hope to achieve in this experiment is to determine the percentage of students who have anxiety disorders, if females have it more commonly than males, or vise versa, and what age group is more prone to having it.
What I did in my experiment was I gathered up 24 high school and middle school students ages 12-17, Then made surveys based on the symptoms of the disorders I was testing for, and had the students anonymously take the survey in a quiet room, then added up and organized my results. My hypothesis was correct about females but not about the age group of the highest disorder.
what i found was that more females had it than males, 15 year old's tended to be the age group with the most disorders, and more people had depression than any other disorder.
