Communication Apprehension:
What Have We Learned in the Last Four Decades
This article focused on communication apprehension and its related trains on how they have changed over the last fourdecades. It will be discussed by personalized people in this subject, and they will try to explain on how the changes happened and how they affected society.
On the first day of class for all publicspeaking students they were administered a measure of speech anxiety.
When they returned to the second class meeting, they found almost one third of the students had dropped the required class. Overhalf of those had high scores on our measure.
They drew two conclusions from this experience: 1) Th Phillips special class approach is helpful,
and 2) there may be hundreds or even thousands ofstudents in public speaking classes who drop the course, change their major to one that doesn’t require a public speaking class, or even transfer to another school that doesn’t have that requirement.Causes of CA. When research began on CA in the 1960's few, if any, researchers questioned the cause of CA. At that time the learning paradigm dominated scholarship in all of the social sciences and someof the hard sciences. Infants were thought to be blank slates and they learned everything from the environment (other people and experience) as time went on. So, of course, they presumed that CA waslearned. And, the motto was “Whatever is learned can be unlearned and/or relearned.” This view dominated scholarship and nothing else was considered. When they sought a way to reduce CA, theyconsidered no other view than learning. Even brain scholars were caught up in this view–and they could only study the brains of dead people, since physically probing a live brain would kill the person. Itwasn’t until the 1990's that the technology began to develop methods of studying live brains without killing the person. Almost everything we now know about live brains has been learned since that...
