The psychology behind why Zoom meetings can be so exhausting—and what you can do about it, by GSeidmanPhD
public self-consciousness.is the tendency to focus on how others perceive you. This means people high in public self-consciousness expend a lot of mental effort trying to make a good impression and control their behavior. This is heightened during a Zoom conference because you're both trying to payto others' reactions and acutely aware of your appearance, and motivated to modify your expressions or posture as you watch yourself on camera.
Making matters worse, webcams and phone cameras set up close to one's face can create appearance distortions or emphasize certain flaws, which can be distracting or even disturbing, particularly for those who are already unhappy with their appearance. Suppose people dissatisfied with their facial appearance spend extra effort during the meeting to achieve a more attractive appearance . In that case, this is likely to make the virtual meeting even more exhausting. Like the study on mirror anxiety, this study also showed greater Zoom fatigue among women than men, partly explained by women's lower appearance satisfaction.
