Social Anxiety research
Feeling anxious? Perhaps doing a good deed might help!
Committing an act of kindness can be rewarding, but did you know it might also help reduce social anxiety?That's what two Canadian researchers have found in a study published in the journal Motivation and Emotion. Researchers Jennifer Trew and Lynn Alden looked at some of the underlying factors of people living with social anxiety disorder and found an interesting pattern in behavior.
“Acts of kindness may help to counter negative social expectations by promoting more positive perceptions and expectations of a person’s social environment,” explains Trew. “It helps to reduce their levels of social anxiety and, in turn, makes them less likely to want to avoid social situations.”
“An intervention using this technique may work especially well early on while participants anticipate positive reactions from others in response to their kindness,” adds Alden.
