Communication in socially anxious people
Dear participants,
thank you very much for supporting this study with your help.
My name is Mara Sartorio and I am studying Psychology at the Sigmund Freud Private University in Vienna. As part of my master thesis, I am conducting an empirical study to investigate how socially anxious people communicate with other people.
Do you feel tense when you join a group? Do you find it difficult to talk to other people? Do you feel nervous when you meet new people? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, this study is for you! The questionnaire is short and takes only 5-10 minutes to complete.
Participation in this study is anonymous, so no data is collected that allows to draw conclusions about you. Your answers are collected and evaluated anonymously and used exclusively for scientific purposes.
If you have any questions about the study, please contact the following e-mail address: mara.sartorio.23@gmail.com
Thank you for your support!
