Flooding in Malaysia has various impacts on the affected population in terms of damage to property, destruction of property and loss of life. Flood victims will suffer severe psychological effects and probably will continue for a long time. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether male and female differ with regard to aspects of psychological well-being among flood victims. This study is based on a quantitative approach using crosssectional survey. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires randomly to respondents. The sample consisted of 300 flood victims who were moved to shelters in the state of Kelantan. The results showed a no significance difference in score for males and females (t=1.194, p>0.05). The mean value between genders had 159.69 and the standard deviation is 17.25 for the male, while the mean for female is 157.29 and the standard deviation is 17.57. In addition, no gender differences were found in term of all the dimensions in psychological well-being among flood victims. It implies that there was no dissimilarity in term of perception toward psychological well-being for those male and female respondents.

Based on Freud's Anxiety Theory, anxiety is a natural state of a person in a state of shock and fear that occurs from environmental conditions that can have an effect on life (Johari & Marzuki, 2013). This was also in line with the results of research conducted at the social service of Aceh Province showing that anxiety in 68 respondents was at a total score of 2,718 in the moderate category and preparedness was at a score of 2,964 in the high category during earthquake readiness (Surbariyanti, Agussabti, & Imran, 2019 ).…”
