Social anxiety has been cited as one of the most prevalent anxiety disorders, especially in undergraduate students. The theoretical framework used in the current study built upon the mindset theory to examine how perceptions of self and anxiety affected reported social anxiety and how an intervention to increase growth mindsets changed the relationships between self-perceptions and social anxiety. A total of 24 participants completed the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Social Phobia Scale, Grit-S Scale, and two mindset measures both before and after attending a one-time, in-person, 70-minute…mehr

Social anxiety has been cited as one of the most prevalent anxiety disorders, especially in undergraduate students. The theoretical framework used in the current study built upon the mindset theory to examine how perceptions of self and anxiety affected reported social anxiety and how an intervention to increase growth mindsets changed the relationships between self-perceptions and social anxiety. A total of 24 participants completed the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Social Phobia Scale, Grit-S Scale, and two mindset measures both before and after attending a one-time, in-person, 70-minute intervention. All participants were randomly assigned to the control condition (a growth mindset intervention) or the experimental condition (a growth mindset intervention coupled with materials to promote grit) to examine the degree to which grit moderates the relationship between mindsets and social anxiety. Inclusion criteria included being (1) an undergraduate student and (2) between the ages of 18 and 22. Hierarchical linear regressions were conducted to analyze the relationships of mindsets to social anxiety through the main and interaction effects of the predictor variables (mindset of anxiety and mindset of global self) and the outcome variable (social anxiety). Results showed that grit moderated the relationship between mindset of anxiety and social anxiety, with those with low grit displaying a significant, predictive relationship between mindset of anxiety and social anxiety scores. However, grit did not moderate the relationship between mindset of global self and social anxiety. Complete results, limitations to the current study, and considerations for clinical perspectives are fully discussed.
