Like the look of your infographic! I think this topic is great for the age range you chose. I certainly think that if people knew that others felt the same as they did, or at least very similarly, it would ease some of their anxiety.

Thank you for sharing. I knew anxiety could be connected to the feeling of being constantly watched and judged by those around you, but I did not know the name was Spotlight Effect. It makes sense that everyone is affected by the Spotlight Effect to some degree, and that those with anxiety have a more intense version of it. Humans are social creatures, and we often behave or think based off of how others do. This can become a problem when we are too rigidly attached to following or adjusting ourselves based off of that, established when we don’t actually know what others are thinking. I can definitely see your infographic being useful for people with anxiety or even just low self esteem and insecurity. Good job!

Nice graphic. Does this effect vary by so-called extraversion? People vary wildly in terms of whether attention, and from whom it comes, is a positive or an aversive experience.

I really loved the layout and design of this poster. I knew the general feelings and symptoms of anxiety, but I found it interesting that there is an umbrella name that certain kinds of feelings can fall under “spotlight effect.” I also really liked how you broke down the information into clear and easy to understand sections. Great work!

I really like the way you made your poster! It’s very appealing and super easy to follow! I think this is a great topic to talk about and very relevant to the age groups mentioned. I never heard of the “spotlight effect” but you did a wonderful job explaining it and how the technique is used when relevant to people. Overall, great job!

Thank you for sharing! Your infographic looked really nice! I knew about the spotlight effect, and it definitely pertains to the 18-21 age group as they go to social gatherings frequently and want to feel accepted there. Anxiety plays a large effect in worrying about how others perceive you. Great job!

I really enjoyed your poster! I think social media plays a huge role in this idea of people thinking others are watching them more than they actually are. The poster is organized really well and easy to follow along. I think you did a great job on this!

Thank you for sharing! Your poster was so organized and engaging. I had never heard of the Spotlight Effect, but you did such a great job at explaining it thoroughly but clearly. Having the age group be 18-21 was very fitting, especially since that is an age where most are in a new, unfamiliar environment where I can imagine heightens anxiety even more! Great job!

The infographic is amazing! I liked how you first talk about what the spotlight effect is to diving deeper into specifics. I wonder if the percentage for social anxiety has increased during the pandemic since we were inside the majority of the time. You did awesome!!
