Abstract

 The exhibitionist need is one of the important factors that affect the individual's psychological and emotional health, and has a major role in determining the level of comprehensive thinking. It is worth noting that university students are among the age groups most affected by stress and psychological pressures, due to the academic and social requirements they face. This study aims to understand the relationship and direction of the exhibitionist need with comprehensive thinking among university students. The study also aims to identify the personal factors that affect this relationship. Therefore, the current research aimed to identify:

1- The exhibitionist need among university students.

2- Statistically significant differences in the exhibitionist need according to the variables (gender, and specialization) among university students.

3- Comprehensive thinking among university students

4- Statistically significant differences in comprehensive thinking according to the variables of gender (gender, and specialization) among university students.

5- The correlation and its direction between the exhibitionist need and comprehensive thinking among university students.

Research Methodology: The researcher relied in his current research on the (descriptive correlational method) as it is the most appropriate method for the nature of the research and its procedures.

 The research procedures are: The research community consisted of (18546) students, of whom (8327) were males and (10219) were females. The research sample, which was (400), was selected, of whom (200) were males and (200) were females from Al-Qadisiyah University students in the humanities and scientific specializations, using the random stratified method. After the researcher reviewed the literature and previous studies related to the research variables (the review need and the comprehensive thinking), and to achieve the research objectives, a tool must be available to measure the research variables. After reviewing the previous studies related to the current research, the researcher prepared the research tools, as the review need scale consisted of (30) paragraphs, and the comprehensive thinking scale consisted of (26) paragraphs. As for the answer alternatives, they had a five-point scale, which are (always applies to me, often applies to me, sometimes applies to me, rarely applies to me, never applies to me), and when correcting the scale paragraphs, the weights are taken The following (2,3,4,5,1) for the paragraphs that are in line with the direction of the variable, and the psychometric properties of the two scales were extracted from (validity and reliability), and the data were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and the results showed the following:

1- University students (research sample) have a high level of exhibitionist need with statistical significance.

2- There are statistically significant differences in exhibitionist need according to the variables (gender, and specialization) among university students.

3- University students (research sample) have holistic thinking with statistical significance.

4- There are no statistically significant differences in holistic thinking according to the variables (gender, and specialization) among university students.

5- There is a significant, positive and inverse correlation between the research variables (exhibitionist need, holistic thinking) among university students

In light of the research results, the researcher reached a set of recommendations and proposals.
