  1. Chapter 1 Speaking with Confidence

  2. Next Week’s Assignments: • The PRCA-24 (online assessment of communication apprehension) • The Personal Narrative Speech (presented in first half of class)

  3. Scoring the PRCA-24 • Each sub-score will be between 6-30. • Anything over 18 = moderate apprehension. • Overall score will be between 24-120. • Above 84 = high apprehension. • 55-83 = moderate apprehension. • 54 or below = low apprehension.

  4. Surviving Communication Apprehension • “Objectify” - understand communication apprehension. • Your body is “helping” you. • You don’t want to eliminate CA completely. • Get experience. • Prepare. • Know your environment & audience. • Practice, practice, practice. • Visualize success.

  5. The Relationship Between Apprehension & Performance (Brydon & Scott, 2008)

  6. Surviving Communication Apprehension • Use bodily action during the speech. • Concentrate on your message. • Remember that the audience wants you to succeed. • Act confident, even if you don’t feel that way (“acting as if”) • Changing your thinking (“cognitive restructuring”).

  7. Negative Thinking • Self-criticizing • “ I’m a terrible speaker” • Self pressuring • “ I can’t afford anything less than an A” • Catastrophizing • “ This is the worst experience I’ll ever have”

  8. Positive Thinking • “I’m prepared for this speech” • “Do it just like you rehearsed it” • “It’s just like I practiced” • “This is better than I anticipated” • “I’m actually liking this” • “Not bad . . .not bad at all”

  9. Other Suggestions for Coping with CA?
