Our Improv Study on Public Speaking Anxiety in Underway
This study is designed for:
• Adults with mild to moderate public speaking anxiety
• Those interested in a free, 11-week trial of improv
• Individuals who want to explore building confidence in a safe space
• People ready to help advance research through new experiences
Why Did People Participate?
Studies suggest improv classes may provide indirect benefits including:
• Increased creativity
• Increased tolerance of uncertainty
• Improved social skills
• Improved cognitive flexibility
• Improved self-esteem
• Strengthened social connections
• Fun and relaxation
Plus you get to participate in an 11 week improv course with an experienced instructor at no cost.
While there may not be any direct benefit to you, including any reduction in your public speaking anxiety, results from this study may help us learn about the impact of improv on PSA and may benefit others in the future.
