The data were treated statistically using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). which included a set of statistical methods. including (one-sample t-test. two independent samples t-test. Pearson's correlation coefficient. t-test for the significance of the correlation coefficient. and one-way analysis of variance).The researcher reached the following results: 1- The research sample is characterized by a medium level of mental alertness.2- The high level of mental alertness according to the variable (gender) (male/female) and in favor of females3- The high level of mental alertness according to the variable (specialization) (scientific / human) and in favor of scientific specialization.In light of the results. the researcher came up with a number of recommendations and suggestions. the most important of which are:1.
