“…This delicate but relevant aspect should be taken into consideration when the ESP academic or practitioner arranges a public speaking course [53]. Drawing from the professional role, we believe that this type of antecedent is different from both the actual emotion that the speaker feels right before starting a speech and that may influence the outcome of it (on this matter literature has widely explored the issue of public speaking as a fearful social situation, and of emotion regulation behaviours aimed at reducing anxiety and the occurrence of fearful thoughts experienced by the speaker while performing the actual speech [1][2][3][4]54]) and the traditional rhetorical appeal to emotion that speakers use to win their audience over. Particularly we would argue that, whether it is deliberate or not on the part of the speaker, the emotional antecedent we are referring to relates to enduring together with the audience the interpretation of one's professional role.…”

“…While some authors of Business English books gave priority to practicing written skills [31], the great majority devoted pages to oral skills for the workplace, and considered public speaking as a special topic inside them. Effectiveness and efficiency in oral performances in business English were a priority for some authors at the beginning of the twentieth century [32], who often underlined one of the most commonplaces of contemporary public speaking courses, that is 'Building speaker confidence', or 'Fear of Public Speaking', which has been a common issue in the most recent studies in the field [2,33,34,4]. Moreover, all these manuals were concerned with preparation for public speaking at different levels, on topics such as: adapting to the audience and the situation [35]; finding the right topic [32]; researching and studying the topic [32]; supporting one's ideas [36]; structuring the speech [35]; outlining the speech [37].…”

The aim of this paper relates to the implications of introducing Public Speaking as a specific English for Purposes (ESP) domain in teaching and learning Business Communication (BC). Background literature on this topic provides a useful frame for understanding and justifying the origins of the subject and the arena in which studies on public speaking in business English then emerged. In addition to that, an overview of the business workplace skills required by corporate communities at present demonstrates that public speaking in the teaching and learning of English for Business Purposes cannot be ignored. The study underlines the strong need for a focused reflection on the impact of good oratorical skills in business communication in English. Due to the varied and complex nature of business communication, however, public speaking studies and programs should be targeted for the audience, and not standardized or copied from models which are suitable to a non-business context.

“…Nos instrumentos de autoavaliação, os aspectos avaliados são mais voltados para a ansiedade ao falar em público (5,9,15,(19)(20)(21)24) , o que pode ser justificado por motivo de a área de concentração desses estudos incluir mais instrumentos construídos sob o referencial da Psicologia (5,9,15,(19)(20)(21)24) , que investigam reações cognitivas, somáticas e comportamentais ao falar em público. As reações somáticas se referem a alterações fisiológicas desencadeadas sob efeito de estresse, como tremores corporais e vocais, sudorese nas palmas das mãos, rubor, aceleramento dos batimentos cardíacos e sensação de boca seca (34,35) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo revisar e descrever os estudos que utilizaram instrumentos para avaliar e autoavaliar a fala em público de indivíduos adultos, no período de 2011 a 2020. Estratégia de pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. A busca dos estudos ocorreu nas bases de dados SciELO, PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, que abrange as bases de dados MEDLINE e LILACS. A questão norteadora desta revisão foi: “Quais os tipos, aspectos avaliados e categorias de resposta dos instrumentos que avaliaram a fala em público de indivíduos adultos nos últimos dez anos?”. Critérios de seleção Foram selecionados artigos originais, disponíveis na íntegra, publicados nos últimos dez anos, nos idiomas português, inglês ou espanhol, que apresentassem instrumentos de avaliação da fala em público, em adultos. Foram excluídos da revisão teses, dissertações, monografias, anais de congressos, estudos com análise do discurso e artigos de revisão de literatura. Resultados foram localizados 2539 artigos, dos quais 21 foram incluídos nesta revisão. A maioria dos estudos foi desenvolvida no Brasil, realizada com universitários e utilizou instrumentos de autoavaliação para investigar a fala em público. Conclusão os instrumentos de investigação para avaliação da fala em público são distintos e não há padronização conceitual dos aspectos avaliativos e das categorias de respostas. Nos instrumentos de autoavaliação, os aspectos mais avaliados são ansiedade ao falar em público, voz, velocidade de fala, competência comunicativa, pitch, articulação e loudness. Nos instrumentos de avaliação, os aspectos avaliativos mais abordados são voz, velocidade de fala, articulação, pausas, loudness, pitch e gestos.

Professional musicians experience intense social exposure and high levels of preoccupation with their performance and potential negative reactions from the audience, which favor anxiety. Considering that oxytocin (OXT) has a potential therapeutic effect on anxiety, cognitive processes, and decreased psychosocial stress, this study’s objective was to assess the effects of a single dose of 24 UI of intranasal OXT among professional singers, during a public singing simulation test, on self-rated performance and mood. This crossover, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial addressed 54 male singers with different levels of musical performance anxiety (42% high). The participants took part in different phases of a simulated public singing performance and completed instruments rating their performances (Self Statements During Public Performance- State version) and mood (Visual Analogue Mood Scale). Data were analyzed using ANOVA 2 × 2 for crossover trials. The results show that the use of OXT during the performance and immediate post-stress favored more positive (effect size: d > 1.04) and less negative assessments of musical performance (effect size: d > 1.86) than when placebo was used. No treatment effects were found in any VAMS subscales, indicating no direct anxiolytic effects. The conclusion is that OXT can minimizes social stress, especially during performances. This finding is exploratory and, if confirmed in future studies, may have relevance for musicians, especially those who constantly experience and recognize the impact of negative and catastrophic thoughts on performance and professional activities.Clinical Trial Registration[https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-5r5sc5], identifier [RBR-5r5sc5].

Validation of the State Version of the Self-statement during Public Speaking Scale

Abstract: Cases assessed themselves in a less positive and more negative manner during the SPST than did non-cases. SSPS-S is adequate for this assessment, especially its negative subscale, and shows good psychometric qualities.
