Situational Determinants of Communication Apprehension.

And Others; Beatty, Michael J.

Communication Monographs, v45 n3 p187-91 Aug 1978

Reports on a study testing the assumption that communication apprehension is a stable trait not influenced by situational factors. Results indicate that communication apprehension scores are determined by situation, in this case anticipated speech performance, raising questions concerning the use of state-trait distinction in speech anxiety research.
