This data set contains data from a study on social anxiety. Participants were asked to complete a social anxiety questionnaire that scored their social anxiety from 1 to 10, where 1 is low social anxiety and 10 is high social anxiety. Participants also completed a questionnaire on the number of social interactions they had per day. The numbers in the “interactions” column correspond to the number of interactions they had on a typical day. Finally, the number in the “home” column corresponds to the number of days per week stayed home all day.
