Trait-Like Qualities of Selected Variables Assumed to Be Transient Causes of Performance State Anxiety.
Beatty, Michael J.; And Others
Communication Education, v38 n3 p277-89 Jul 1989
Examines data from two public speaking performances to examine the stability of speakers' perceptions of situational factors and the relationship of those factors to communication apprehension and state anxiety. Finds that degree of attention functions as a situational perception, whereas novelty, subordinate status, conspicuousness, and unfamiliarity meet expectations for traits. (MM)
