Brief Summary: The study examines whether musical tracks played during gaze contingent music reward therapy GC-MRT for social anxiety could later be used as a booster to reduce anxiety before a stressful situation To this end highly socially anxious participants will undergo 4 GC-MRT sessions designed to train participants attention away from threat and towards neutral social stimuli Subsequently participants will be asked to perform a socially stressful speech task Prior to the speech half of the participants will listen to a musical track the participants were trained with and half of the participants will listen to a musical track the participants like but were not trained with during the GC-MRT sessions The investigators expect that listening to musical track taken from the GC-MRT sessions will moderate the increase in anxiety levels prior to the speech and will improve performance during the speech compared to a non-trained musical track
Detailed Description: Gaze contingent music reward therapy GC-MRT is designed to modify threat-related attention biases through operational conditioning between beloved music and gaze patterns favoring neutral stimuli over threat-related stimuli GC-MRT has shown efficacy in reducing social anxiety symptoms The current study is designed to explore whether the musical tracks played during the GC-MRT conditioning could be later used as a treatment booster to reduce anxiety in a socially stressful situation To this end 60 high socially anxious participants will undergo four GC-MRT sessions and then will be asked to perform a stressful speech task Prior to the speech half of the participants randomly determined will listen to a musical track the participants were trained with and half of the participants will listen to a musical track the participants like but were not trained with during GC-MRT sessions The investigators expect that the listening to musical track taken from the GC-MRT sessions will moderate the increase in anxiety levels prior to the speech and will improve performance during the speech compared to a non-trained musical track
