One method to reduce social anxiety may lie in forging friend- ships with people of different races and ethnicities, according to a new study conducted by UC Berkeley researchers. The study found diat hav- ing cross-race friendships can reduce cortisol, a hormone linked to stress, for those in social situations with people from different social groups and ethnicities. 'Intergroup interactions can be very anxiety-provoking," said Rodolfo Mcndoza-Denton, a co-author of the study and a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology. "What this study builds on is that the idea that for some people, intergroup reactions can be more anxiety- provoking than others." That anxiety may be tied to prejudice or the fear of being subject to prejudice, he said. The study, which also involved a researcher from the
