The Cronbach value after deleting the weakly correlated items (0.761), the half-segment reliability value (0.637), the self-validity value (0.798), which indicates that the scale has a high degree of reliability and validity, which confirms that the scale is suitable for use on the Sudanese environment in the field of diagnosis Social anxiety, and in research and studies dealing with the social anxiety variable among the youth Sudanese sample.
