Effects of Visual Perspectives and Construal Levels on Social Anxiety
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of imagining one's own to-be-delivered speech from either a 1st-person or a 3rd-person's perspective for anxiety and subsequent speech performances. It was hypothesized that the effects of visual perspectives on speech anxiety would be mediated by self-focused attention. We also examined a strategy which aimed at reducing the speech anxiety based on the main premise of the construal level theory. Results showed that participants in the 3rd-person's perspective condition reported higher levels of anxiety than those in the 1st-person's perspective condition. And, as expected, this relationship was mediated by self-focused attention (study 1). In addition, participants, who had imagined their speech behaviors based on the 'why' construal (i.e., high-level construal), experienced an abstract mind-set and reported with higher levels of relaxation than those who had imagined the same behavior based on the 'how' construal (i.e., low-level construal) (study 2). Implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
