so i'm new to this forum (hi) and am interested in doing a correlative study on perceived traits like looks, personality, intelligence, sociability. have linkages been done before with those variables in people with sa?

why if a person is good looking? or smart? shouldn't have anxiety?

well its not actual looks, it would be perceived looks. and i'm finding a stronger correlation b/t perceived looks and personality rather than smartness or sociability perceptions. so maybe, in treatment, addressing personality issues might be better than addressing sociability/smartness issues, since looks are highly correlated with social anxiety.

its just a pilot study and i found it interesting that smartness/sociability aren't correlated that well with looks/personality.
