Working title on the thesis
Adolescents with social anxiety and subsequent key life milestones in young adulthood. Findings from the Young-Hunt3 study, and Statistics Norway’s longitudinal data.
Short presentation of the thesis:
Social anxiety arises from the perceived threat of judgment by others before, during, or after social situations. In specific individuals, this anxiety reaches a level that disrupts daily functioning and causes significant distress, potentially leading to a diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia. However, a key question remains: at what point does elevated social anxiety constitute a disorder, and why does it matter? The resultant of this question is three independent but interrelated empirical studies based on data from YoungHunt3 and statistics Norway
