Self-confidence among female employees at the University of Babylon who use and do not use cosmetic lasers: A comparative study

Abstract

The current research aims to identify: 1. Self-Confidence Among Female Employees. 2. Statistically Significant Differences Between Female Employees Using Laser Hair Removal and Non-Using Laser Hair Removal Based on Age Group (25 and Under) and (25 and Over), and Marital Status (Single - Married). To achieve these objectives, the researchers developed a self-confidence measurement tool. They adopted Carl Rogers' (1995) theory and his definition in this study. The scale consists of 30 items. The descriptive approach was used in this research, and the scale was administered to the main research sample of 300 female employees. The sample was selected purposively from the University of Babylon (150 laser hair removal users and 150 non-users). The researchers ensured equivalence based on the variables of age group and marital status. After collecting and statistically processing the data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), the research yielded the following results: 1. Female employees possess a good level of self-confidence. General. 2. There were statistically significant differences in self-confidence levels based on the use of cosmetic lasers, and age. These differences favored those who did not use lasers and those aged 25 and over. No differences were found based on marital status.
