Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety (PRPSA)
Hao
This was the first scale we developed in our work on communication apprehension. It is highly reliable (alpha estimates >.90) but it focuses strictly on public speaking anxiety. Hence, we moved on to develop the PRCA and ultimately the PRCA-24. This is an
excellent measure for research which centers on public speaking anxiety, but is an inadequate measure of the broader communication apprehension construct.
