First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests an online mental exercise for people with social anxiety. Participants learn about anxiety and then either imagine approaching a feared social situation or do a verbal reasoning task. The goal is to see if imagining positive outcomes increases motivation and helps people actually face scary social situations, like giving a compliment or asking for a restaurant recommendation.
