This thesis is devoted to the study of the screening masses in hot non-Abelian theories. Section 1 contain a brief introduction to the topic. In section 2 a detailed overview of the screening phenomena and their applications is given. In section 3 the screening masses are defined through the coupled gap equations. Section 4 deals with the determination of the screening masses of hot SU(2) gauge theory in the framework of the 3d lattice adjoint Higgs model considered as an effective theory. Finally in section 5 the screening masses of hot SU(2) Higgs model are examined.
