The purpose of this research project was to investigate if students today still
report a fear of public speaking more often than death and if after completing a
public speaking course, their fears change. Participants in a multi-section public
speaking course (N = 374) completed a pre-and post-course survey asking them to
select their fears and also complete public speaking anxiety questions. The results
showed that pre-course public speaking was chosen more often than death and all
other fears except for family tragedy, but after completing the course, the fear of
public speaking was no longer selected more than death and was not even among
the top five fears students listed. The findings help clarify the important impact a
public speaking class has on students’ fears. The review of literature addresses why
students should enroll in a basic public speaking course and conquer their fear or
anxiety about public speaking while still in college. The discussion focuses on how
public speaking instructors can help students conquer their fear.
