Fear of Speaking
DO you suffer from anxiety or fear being negatively judged by other people in social situations? Are you confident in social situations or do you avoid them?
We need volunteers to help us with research looking at how people with social anxiety feel about themselves.
The most frequently experienced example is fear of public speaking.
Although we are not able to offer treatment, we hope that our research will help us to develop better treatments in the future.
We are looking for people who experience high levels of anxiety in social situations and also people who feel confident in social situations, for comparison.
Most of our studies take an hour to an hour-and-a-half. We offer a payment of £15 to cover travel expenses and a small contribution for your time.
