“…Behnke and Sawyer (2004) demonstrated that students' public speaking anxiety is highly related to their anticipation beforehand and anxiety level during the first minute of speaking. This pattern was true even during brief, five-minute informative speeches in a college classroom (Behnke & Sawyer, 2001). Taken together, these findings suggest that even short presentations afford students an opportunity to experience and cope with the primary stressors associated with public speaking and to practice aspects of oral communication.…”

This study examined the suitability of a brief oral presentation exercise as an assessment method in biopsychology. Undergraduate students researched and presented a five-minute, self-selected fact related to course material, allowing them to practice oral communication skills, such as clearly explaining and carefully listening. Biopsychology students were compared to a similar group of students who did not participate in the brief oral presentation. When asked to rank potential class assignments, biopsychology students showed a stronger preference for oral presentations than did the comparison group. Biopsychology students expressed positive attitudes about the assignment and demonstrated learning related to the oral presentations. This exercise provided the additional benefits to the instructor of keeping the class content current and relevant to students.

“…Conversely low reactive people may be aroused but are less likely to descend into anxiety. Behnke & Sawyer (2001b) suggests that psychologically reactive people could benefit from public speaking practice sessions full of stress but with likelihood of a successful performance. Others like Beatty & McCroskey (2000) contend that it is difficult to utilize therapy to reduce psychological anxiety because so much of speech anxiety is genetically determined.…”

Public speaking is one of the cornerstones of mass communication, the influence of which has only been enhanced with the advent of the modern era. Yet despite its importance, up to 40% of the world's population feels anxious when faced with the prospect of presenting in front of an audience (Wilbur, 1981). However, public speaking anxiety is human condition that can be understood and with effort, overcome by sufferers. Based on theoretical research, this study presents an empirical investigation of speech anxiety. The research uses Q-methodology to generate categories of speakers and then draws on the PQ-method program to suggest ways for speakers to improve their speaking confidence based on these categories. This research is of a value to those who are interested in speech anxiety for therapeutic or pedagogical practice.

“…Em relação às condições de estresse propostas para a apresentação da fala, predominaram a apresentação para uma platéia com um número variável de pessoas SAWYER, 2001;SAVITSKY;GILOVICH, 2003;GRUENEWAL et al, 2004), a fala gravada por uma vídeo-câmara (HAZLETT-STEVENS; BORKOVEC, 2001;GONZALEZ-BONO et al, 2002;GROSS, 2003) e a avaliação do desempenho por psicólogos ou especialistas (CARRILO et al, 2001;HOFMANN et al, 2005), sendo que a maior parte dos estudos utilizou-se de pelo menos dois destes parâmetros. Já quanto às fases do procedimento, predominou a avaliação de pelo menos três: basal ou pré-stress ou antecipação, execução e pós-stress/recuperação (CARRILO et al, 2003;CROFT et al, 2004;JEZOVA et al, 2004).…”

“…Quanto às variáveis fisiológicas, predominou o uso de medidas cardiovasculares, a saber: freqüência cardíaca, volume do pulso periférico, pressão arterial e fluxo sanguíneo da face SAWYER, 2001;GONZALEZ-BONO et al, 2002;SCHWERDTFEGER, 2004;VASSEND;KNARDAHL, 2005) e de condutância da pele (CARRILO et al, 2001;CARRILO et al, 2003;CROFT et al, 2004;HOFMANN et al, 2005), estas utilizadas de forma isolada ou combinada. Alguns estudos utilizaram também de medidas neurais TILLFORS et al, 2001; 2005) e medidas hormonais, cujo parâmetro mais utilizado foi o do cortisol salivar (GRUENEWAL et al, 2004;JEZOVA, 2004).…”
