The Relationship Between Self-Evaluation And Social Anxiety Of College Freshmen From Normal Education And Its Intervention Study

After the selection of the university entrance examination, college students are equally matched. In this new environment, they are no longer as outstanding as in high school. Faced with new challenges, they tend to be at a loss and doubt themselves easily. They begin to reduce self-evaluation, becoming more and more unlike themselves.
