Abstract

The current research aims to identify the existential vacuum in orphans of adolescent students, and to define the significance of differences in the existential vacuum in orphans of adolescent students according to the variable of gender (male, female), and the school stage (intermediate, and preparatory), and to achieve this, the researchers built a measure of existential vacuum, which consisted in its final form of (29) paragraphs. The study sample included adolescent orphaned students, distributed by (200) males and (200) females, and distributed by (200) middle schools and (200) middle schools in Diwaniya governorate. The sample was selected by a random method with equal distribution, and the results of the research reached a set of results, including that adolescent orphaned students do not suffer from existential emptiness, and that females suffer from existential vacuum more than males when we compare the calculated mortal value with the tabular value at the level of significance of 0.05, and the researchers also found that there are no statistically significant differences in the school stage, There are statistically significant differences in the existential space according to the bilateral interaction between sex (male, female) and school stage (intermediate, junior).
