Nora Skjerdingstad

I’m Nora, a DPhil student at the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford. My research focuses on the experience of social anxiety in adolescents' daily lives, using Experience Sampling Methods (ESM). I aim to better understand behavioural and cognitive mechanisms in social anxiety and the heterogeneity in these mechanisms across contexts, time and individuals. The goal is to improve and provide individualized and accessible social anxiety treatments. I am a quantitative methods and statistics enthusiast and want to explore the best ways to measure and model our constructs of interest.

My supervisors are Dr. Eleanor Leigh and Prof. Cathy Creswell, and my project is funded by the Aker Scholarship.
