I received this email (I did change a little wording for confidentiality purposes) from a very nice 8th grader at the Acera School in Winchester looking for some assistance on a project she is doing that is focused on understanding social anxiety:
Hi! My name is Sarah E. and I am an eighth-grade student at the Acera School in Winchester, MA. Every year, the school hold a science symposium for all of its students. This year my project is focusing on the social anxiety symptoms caused in different types of communication.
From your website I noticed that you work with clients that may have social anxiety. I was wondering if you would be willing to give the link to most of my survey to some if your families. It would be extremely useful for my research. The survey will be 100% anonymous.
I will be using the results to see what types of communication are most difficult for people with social anxiety. The survey consists of about 15 questions, most of them asking on a scale of 1 to 10 how much anxiety does someone have communicating in a certain way with either a family member, friend, or stranger.
I would really appreciate your participation in this research.
Best,
Sarah E., Acera School
For those of you who would be willing to help Sarah with her research by answering for yourself or a family member/child, here is the link:
