Study of social anxiety

Closes 20 October 2025

This study aims to better understand the psychological and demographic factors that influence support-seeking preferences for individuals with high social anxiety. Although effective treatment options are available, many people do not seek professional help. This research focuses on understanding why some people may prefer Assertiveness Training (AT) while others may prefer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Participants must be 18 years or older and either currently live in Australia or identify as Australian. Participation involves completing a short anonymous online survey, which takes approximately 15 minutes. The survey includes a screening question, followed by questions about support preferences, experiences, and relevant psychological traits.
