“…O falar em público também tem sido considerado um poderoso estressor psicossocial [7][8][9] , despertando grande ansiedade e afetos negativos, além de respostas neuroendócrinas, metabólicas, imunológicas, cardiovasculares e eletrodérmicas 10 . Considerando-se a associação da ansiedade ao falar em público, foram propostos modelos experimentais de ansiedade envolvendo essa situação específica, caracterizados como simulação do falar em público 11,12 .…”

Professor(a) doutor(a) da Divisão de Psiquiatria da FMRP-USP. Recebido: 21/05/2008 -Aceito: 18/07/2008Resumo Contexto: O medo de falar em público é um dos medos mais prevalentes na população geral, sendo importante a avaliação dos aspectos cognitivos associados a ele. Objetivo: Realizar a adaptação transcultural para o português do Brasil do Self Statements during Public Speaking Scale (SSPS), um instrumento para auto-avaliação ante a situação de falar em público. Métodos: O processo de tradução e adaptação envolveu quatro profissionais bilíngües, apreciação e aprovação da tradução reversa pelos autores da escala original, estudo piloto com 30 universitários brasileiros e apreciação por juízes que atestaram a validade de face da versão para o português, a qual se denominou Escala para Auto-avaliação ao Falar em Público. Como parte do estudo psicométrico da SSPS, realizaram-se a análise dos itens e a avaliação da consistência interna em uma amostra de 2.314 estudantes universitários. Resultados: Evidenciou-se que os itens da subescala de auto-avaliação positiva foram os mais pontuados. A correlação dos itens com o escore total foi bastante adequada, variando entre 0,44 e 0,71, bem como a consistência interna que variou entre 0,78 e 0,90. Conclusões: A SSPS na versão para o português do Brasil mostrou-se adequada quanto às propriedades psicomé-tricas estudadas. Consideram-se oportunos e necessários estudos que avaliem os demais indicadores de validade e fidedignidade da SSPS, com amostras clínicas e não-clínicas.Osório FL, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2008;35(6):207-11 Palavras-chave: Falar em público, transtorno de ansiedade social, instrumento, escala, validade. AbstractBackground: The fear of public speaking is on of the most prevalent fears in the general population, and it is important to assess its underlying cognitive aspects. Objective: To perform the cross-cultural adaptation for Brazilian Portuguese of the Self Statements during Public Speaking Scale (SSPS), a self-assessment instrument designed for the public speaking situation. Methods: The process of translation and adaptation involved four bilingual professionals, the appreciation and approval of the back-translation by the authors of the original scale, a pilot study on 30 Brazilian undergraduate students, and appreciation by raters who attested to the face validity of the Portuguese version, which was called Escala para Auto-avaliação ao Falar em Público. As part of the psychometric study of the SSPS, the items of the scale were analyzed and its internal consistency was assessed in a sample of 2,314 undergraduate students. Results: The items of the positive self-evaluation subscale received the highest scores. The correlation of the items with the total score was quite adequate, ranging from 0.44 to 0.71, and internal consistency was also good, ranging from 0.78 to 0.90. Discussion: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the SSPS proved to be adequate regarding its

“…Empirical studies suggest that physiological arousal and cognitive anxiety are significant factors leading to a low performance [23]. During public speaking tasks conducted in laboratory, anxiety was observed to be associated with greater cardiovascular responses during the performance [24,25].…”

Abstract:The present study aimed to examine multidimensional factors that contribute to a poor performance in a public speaking task. An adapted version of the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) as used to elicit psychosocial stress among 43 university students and multidimensional assessments were involved to investigate acute stress responses by psychological measures (i.e. personality, affect, appraisal, coping), physiological measures (i.e. cortisol; Dehydroepiandrosterone: DHEA; ratio of cortisol/DHEA) and behavioural measures (voice, postural control). Our results showed that psychological factors seemed to be the most sensitive to stress performance. A mediation effect was detected between psychological factors and objective performance. Cortisol to DHEA ratio also showed to be associated with speaking performance. This study added evidence to the literature with regards to a multidimensional way to study human stress response and may help individuals use functional coping to improve their performance and better adapt to stressful situations.

“…Although there is little argument that the experience of anxiety is associated with stereotypical changes in ANS activity, what is less clear is the extent to which those who are predisposed to anxiety (e.g., high trait-anxious) may display an autonomic signature that is different from that of persons not predisposed to anxiety either at rest or when anxious. For example, previous studies have indicated that physiological responses in high trait-anxious individuals during anticipatory anxiety were larger [Gonzalez-Bono et al, 2002], smaller [Wilken et al, 2000], or similar [Mauss et al, 2003] to those of low trait-anxious participants.…”

The influence of trait anxiety on autonomic response and cognitive performance during an anticipatory anxiety task

The interaction between emotion and cognition is thought to be intimately involved in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders. In a set of studies, we investigated whether trait anxiety modulates cognitive performance and autonomic activity during an anticipatory anxiety task. Participants completed a letter-size decision-making task with two alternating 28-32 s background screen color-blocks. One of the colors was associated with the presentation of an aversive noise [unconditioned stimulus (UCS)]. Participants were aware of the background color that would (CTX+) and would not (CTX-) be paired with the UCS but did not know when or how often the UCS would be presented. Two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, the UCS was presented during the decision-making task in the CTX+ color-blocks using a partial reinforcement schedule. Different noises were presented each time to increase unpredictability and prevent habituation. In Experiment 2, the UCS was never presented during the decision-making task. Results suggested that only the paradigm used in Experiment 1 was successful in eliciting anticipatory anxiety. In Experiment 1, continuously measured skin conductance response (SCR) data suggested that anxiety was significantly greater during CTX+ compared to CTX- trials; no SCR differences were found between high and low trait-anxious participants. Results further indicated that high trait-anxious participants responded significantly faster on the decision-making task during CTX+ compared to CTX- trials, whereas low trait-anxious participants displayed the opposite pattern. Our results reveal an interesting dissociation between the effects of individual differences in trait anxiety on autonomic activity and cognitive performance during an anticipatory anxiety task.
