Self-efficacy, Emotional Regulation, Communication Competence and Public Speaking Anxiety Towards Students

Abstract

Public speaking anxiety (PSA) is one of the most common forms of anxiety disorder, with about one in five individuals experiencing this level of anxiety. Students undergoing the learning process, especially before the final examination period, can experience this anxiety disorder. The factors mentioned can be related to the emergence of public speaking anxiety, namely self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and individual communication competence. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in his ability to complete tasks. Emotional regulation is an individual's ability to regulate the emotions experienced, and communication competence is a skill that individuals have in terms of speaking. This study aims to develop insight into self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and communication competence with public speaking anxiety in final year students who complete their final project or thesis. With this research, it is expected that several approaches will be proposed that can help students develop soft-skills in complementing the skills to convey ideas in public.
