This study tested the ability of Communication-Orientation Motivation (COM) therapy (Motley, 1995) to reduce public speaking apprehension. The investigation was deemed necessary due to the inconsistent nature of previous results on the effectiveness of COM therapy. Respondents who scored one standard deviation above the mean on a measure of public speaking apprehension (PSA) formed the target population. Participants were exposed to COM therapy, Systematic Desensitization, a placebo, or no treatment. A pretest-posttest control group design was employed. Participants delivered pretest speeches, responded to a battery of self-report measures, were exposed to the appropriate intervention as called for by the experimental design, delivered a posttest speech, and responded to the self-report measures. In general, COM therapy was found to be effective in reducing PSA. The implications of this and other findings are discussed. |
