student teachers and the difference degree of future anxiety according to social
status, gender, academic specialization. The measure of future anxiety was
applied to a sample consisting of (462( students who were under graduation

Kuwait. The percentages and t-test of the student teachers’ responses were
calculated and analysed.
The results indicated that future anxiety percentages ranged between

future had the highest percentage while no differences were indicated between
the academic specialization on the degree of future anxiety of the student
teachers. The results also showed statistical signifcant differences between
the arithmetic averages of the male and female scores in the scale in favor of
the females while no statistical signifcant differences were registered between
