Expert Solution
Causes of anxiety

The causes of extreme or crippling anxiety can be many. Anxiety may be caused by societal expectations that we will live up to our previously accomplished standards. It may also be caused by seeing others attempt something and fail, that is, vicariously. It may also be due to the overly competitive focus of the performance we will give. Lastly, it can be due to overarousal.

In the next section, we answer this question by referring to the clip where Mr. Bean goes to the swimming pool and becomes overwhelmed with anxiety when faced with the prospect of diving from the diving board.
