Camera shyness refers to anyone who is unwilling to be photographed. It is common for individuals who are camera shy to fear public speaking, performing in front of an audience, as well as having one's picture taken by any type of camera or being recorded by video cameras.[1]: 41 Camera shyness is described as social anxiety resulting from unpredicted interactions that provoked the individuals social image. It can be derived from shyness itself, which can be related to bad self-esteem, anxiety and fear. In addition to camera shyness, it can be derived from public self-consciousness, loneliness, low assertiveness, communication apprehension, and introversion. An individual who experiences camera shyness are often times in fear of the unexpected or the unknown in social situations, causing one to stay hidden from a camera. [1][page needed] Shyness can be a result of social anxiety, public self- consciousness, low assertiveness, and introversion.[2] In a social situation that is anxiety inducing- individuals tend to create safety actions that prevents the situation from getting worse. According to Cozier, anxiety can be separated into three elements: cognitions, physiological responses and behavior.[1][page needed] An individual walking away or hiding their face is a behavioral response from camera shyness. A physiological response to camera shyness can be shaking or an increase in heart rate. A cognition response can be how a person remembers a terrible experience with cameras, which result in fear of being photographed or filmed.
Psychological Research
Philip Zimbardo's Research 1977
Philip Zimbardo is an American Psychologist as well as a professor at Stanford University, who has proposed five general perspectives on the causes of shyness, which include an individual's personality traits, behavioristic analysis, psychoanalytic analysis, sociological analysis, and attributional analysis. An individual's personality trait is an additional cause of shyness due to their personal character traits or qualities that are a part of their nature. The behavioristic analysis of an individual include the identification of negative behavioral aspects such as social interactions. The psychoanalytic analysis of an individual is taking the perspective of one's shyness in regard of their unconscious impulses or actions.The sociological analysis of an individual includes the underlying effects of isolation within social interactions, as well as their normal interactions in social situations.The attributional analysis of an individual focuses on seeing shyness as a label.[3]
Treatments
Exposure is one of the first steps to treating social anxiety. People with social anxiety can make a list for themselves of all the social situations that trigger their anxiety and put them in order of the level of anxiety they experience. The person who is experiencing anxiety should then try to slowly put themselves in these situations starting with the situation that gives them the least anxiety. When in these situations, the person should try and force themselves to stay in the situation until they are able to learn how to reduce their anxiety. With exposure treatment the person facing social anxiety should not expect to immediately get over their fear, but it will hopefully help them overcome avoiding these situations and allow them to learn how to help their anxiety when faced with these situations.[4]
Social skills training is another form of treatment for social anxiety. Some social anxiety is formed because certain social interaction skills are poor or even non-existent. Through this treatment social skills are learned and practiced through “modeling, behavioral rehearsal, corrective feedback, and positive reinforcement.” Through skills training the patient is also being put into the situations that cause their social anxiety doubling as both an exposure and a social skills training treatment.[4]
Cognitive restructuring is when an individual attempts to learn about irrational thoughts that a person may have based on a situation. It is believed that social anxiety is caused not by the situation itself but it is caused by the person’s feelings toward the situation. The patient can be given a list of scenarios that could possibly cause their anxiety to rise and attempt to identify the thoughts that come to their mind. These thoughts are usually seen as negative and irrational. Cognitive restructuring is used throughout the entire treatment process in order to change the patients feels about anxiety-raising situations and to help the patient know how to handle being in these types of settings.[4]
