Some socially anxious persons view their symptoms as unchangeable traits, which often intensifies this anxiety. These persons endorse a fixed mindset and see obstacles as impassable barriers. The study’s purpose is to examine whether an intervention designed to inspire grit can facilitate a change in mindset concerning social anxiety.
