Abstract

This study explored the rationale behind educational gender segregation and its psychological outcomes. An online survey conducted by the Student Government Association (SGA) aimed at understanding if gender separation was manifested as the result of religious or cultural views and what psychological effects it is going to have on present and future interaction between the sexes. The results were interpreted using Albert Ellis' model of Cognitive Rational-Emotive Therapy and were correlated to a 2006 SGA study that was issued in response to the Kuwait law imposing gender segregation in private universities.
