<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">My name is Samantha Bank and I am currently completing my clinical psychology masters here at Curtin University. I am contacting you in the hope that you may be able to
distribute some information about my masters research to staff members in your faculty. I am currently investigating the benefits of a brief, single 90-minute group intervention session aimed at reducing symptoms of performance anxiety. I am looking to recruit
individuals aged 18 and over who currently experience symptoms of performance anxiety (i.e., experience an intense fear of being criticised, embarrassed, or humiliated when giving speeches, eating or drinking in front of others, or being the focus of attention).
Participation would involve one initial assessment, a single 90-minute group intervention session, and one follow-up assessment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Performance anxiety is extremely prevalent among university populations, and my hope is that this brief intervention will provide significant symptom relief. I would be
very appreciative of any support you could provide in 'spreading the word' about my research. I have also attached an information flyer about the project for you and anyone that may be interested.
