Abstract
: Fear of failure refers to the inclination to assess potential threats and experience anxiety in situations that carry the risk of failure. A total of 288 participants were surveyed using the revised fear of failure scale to evaluate the level of fear of failure among college students in Guangzhou. The study found that (1) the results showed that college students' total score of fear of failure is relatively high, and the average score is above the critical value of 3 points; (2) female college students scored significantly higher than male students on the subscales of “upsetting important others” and “losing social influence”; (3) college students who majored in liberal arts scored significantly higher than those who majored in science on the subscale of “losing social influence”.
