Developing a single-session intervention to help undergraduates cope with fear of negative evaluation in active learning

Fear of negative evaluation, or the dread associated with being judged in a social situation, is the most common factor underlying student anxiety in active learning courses.  This project aims to help students cope with fear of negative evaluation by developing and testing a single-session intervention (an approach shown to be tremendously effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety in the K-12 population) to help undergraduates cope with fear of negative evaluation in the context of active learning science courses.
