Internet-based sources of information make up 72 percent of the total. 9 percent of students had light social anxiety, 79 percent had moderate social anxiety, and 12 percent of students had severe social anxiety in the level of social anxiety as a pre-test. After the post-test, one hundred percent of students reported mild anxiety, whereas none of the students reported mild or severe anxiety.
