This study tested whether using simulated teleconferencing interactions (where you pretend like you are on a social zoom call) could help reduce symptoms of social anxiety. Engaging repeatedly in social situations (real or simulated) has been consistently shown to be helpful for individuals with symptoms of social anxiety. It can be hard to do, but in this initial test we found meaningful reductions in symptoms of social anxiety in our self-guided intervention. Repeatedly engaging with these stimulated teleconferencing interactions is a promising approach for individuals with symptoms of social anxiety as it is accessible to anyone with a computer.
