This course reviews empirical literature examining social phobia and fear of public speaking. We cover what is known scientifically about a fear of speaking in front of others, often relying on information derived from samples of individuals with clinical degrees of social anxiety. We augment our readings with quantitative lab assignments that illustrate analytical tools used by clinical psychologists. In addition, we use class members’ oral presentations as opportunities to apply the knowledge we gain regarding public speaking anxiety.
