I'd guess that people who think "you can do this" instead of "I can do this" heard the phrase "you can do this" often, for example from their parents, other relatives, or friends. If that's true, then this article just confuses causation with correlation: The causal link is more likely to be "people from a supportive environment worry less (and they also talk to themselves in the second person)".
- regularfry 12y ago> I'd guess No need to guess, the paper explicitly deals with this: Thus, individuals who scored high versus low on trait social anxiety benefited similarly from introspecting using non- first-person language. In your terms, you'd expect people from less supportive environments to have higher social anxiety. Study 6 shows this doesn't matter.
