A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
There is not much known yet about different feedback forms in public speaking with regard to both physiological and self-perceived stress. The current study investigated this matter via a convenience sample of psychology students and acquaintances (N= 27, M age= 19.50 years, 74% female). Participants prepared and presented a presentation to either a supportive or unsupportive audience. During the whole experiment heart rate was being recorded to measure physiological stress and the Self-Assessment Manikin was filled in four times to measure self-perceived stress. According to the results, self-perceived stress measurements were not correlating with heart rate measurements. Furthermore, there was no effect found for the influence of feedback on self-perceived stress while presenting. The results suggest that different feedback forms did significantly influence physiological stress in public speaking, even though the study had a small power. However, future research has to look into psychological measurements of stress regarding feedback in public speaking.
