Communication Apprehension and High School Students. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, March 2009, Pages: 124
The purpose of this study was to determine the
relationship between the degree of Communication
Apprehension and a student’s grade point average.
In addition, this study looked at Communication
Apprehension differences in various communication
settings of groups based on socioeconomic status,
gender, ethnic groups, student participation in
communication classes, and a student’s primary
language. To do this, the study used the Personal
Report of Communication Apprehension-24 (PRCA-24)
and a researcher generated survey of demographic
information and online Communication Apprehension
questions. The study found no significant
difference in the mean GPA for students who had low
Communication Apprehension. This study found that
students who had low Communication Apprehension also
had significantly less online apprehension. Students
who completed a speech or debate class had a
significantly lower apprehension score. Classroom
teachers can use this information to create an
environment that will allow students with
Communication Apprehension to be successful.
