My research examines the anxiety-reducing effects of consuming dark chocolates. The study uses a 2 (group: individuals with social anxiety vs. non-anxious controls) x 2 (manipulation: chocolates, no chocolates) between-subjects factorial design. After the manipulation, participants will give a brief public speech, and anxiety will be assessed via self-report questionnaires at baseline and after the public speaking task. It is hypothesized that consuming dark chocolates reduces public speaking anxiety in both groups.
