“…Since the fear of public speaking is highly prevalent in the population, 2,3 McNair et al 4 developed and validated a Simulated Public Speaking Task (SPST) to be used as a psychological stressor in experimental studies. In this task, participants are invited to prepare a speech then deliver it in front of a video camera, after having been informed that the video would be analyzed by a psychologist.…”

Objectives: a) To perform a systematic and meta-analytic review to verify whether the Simulated Public Speaking Task (SPST) leads to a greater increase in self-rated anxiety than in physiological correlates of anxiety; and b) to compare the results obtained with the SPST with an actual public speaking task involving healthy volunteers. Methods: a) The PubMed and ISI Web of Knowledge databases were searched for studies involving the SPST prior to 2012. Eleven publications were eligible and provided data from 143 healthy volunteers for meta-analysis; b) 48 university students without somatic or psychiatric disorders were divided into three experimental groups of 16 subjects to undergo one of the following: SPST, realworld public speaking task (real-world), and control situation (control). Results:The meta-analysis showed that the SPST induced a significant increase in the Visual Analogue Mood Scale (VAMS) anxiety factor, but no significant increases in systolic blood pressure or heart rate. The empirical study showed that the real-world public speaking task increased heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure significantly more than the control and SPST conditions. Conclusions: These results suggest that real public speaking might be better than SPST in inducing experimental anxiety.

Social anxiety is one of the most frequent mental health problems and there is no consensus regarding the relation between social skills and anxiety. This study aimed to compare the behavioral indicators of social skills presented by university students with social anxiety in relation to a non-clinical group, and to verify the predictive value of the social skills for social anxiety. Participants were 288 university students, 144 with Anxiety Disorder and 144 non-clinical. Social skills were assessed using the QHC-University (Social Skills, Behaviors and Context Assessment Questionnaire for University Students) and the IHS-Del-Prette instruments. Mental health indicators were assessed through screening and diagnostic instruments. Through univariate and multivariate analysis an association was found between social skills and anxiety, highlighting public speaking, potential, difficulties, and the total social skills score as predictors of social anxiety, which contributes to demonstrating the role the resources and difficulties play in this.

“…Diferentes estudos apontam que mesmo em populações saudáveis e que não apresentam diagnóstico psiquiátrico, o falar em público é o medo mais comumente observado (Baptista, et al, 2012;Connor, 2000). Outro dado que indica que para os seres humanos a avaliação de pares gera respostas de medo e ansiedade advém da pesquisa básica: o teste de simulação de falar em público é uma condição experimental bastante confiável de indução de ansiedade experimental em seres humanos, independente da presença de transtorno psiquiátrico, sendo muito comum no estudo de fármacos ansiolíticos (Graeff, 2007).…”

“…A literatura aponta que os medos mais comuns no TAS podem ser divididos em quatro categorias principais: medo de falar ou apresentar-se em público, perante uma audiência, sendo este o medo mais comum; medo de situações onde ocorram interações sociais; medo de ser observado (comendo ou escrevendo, por exemplo); e medo de mostrar sintomas de ansiedade (Baptista, et al, 2012;Beesdo et al, 2007;Bogels et al, 2010).…”
