We explored dispositional differences in the ability to self-regulate attentional processes in the domain of public speaking. Participants first completed measures of speech anxiety and attentional control. In a second session, participants prepared and performed a short speech. Fear of public speaking negatively impacted performance only for those low in attentional control. Thus, attentional control appears to act as a buffer that facilitates successful self-regulation despite performance anxiety.
我们探讨了在公开演讲领域中自我调节注意力过程能力的性格差异。参与者首先完成了演讲焦虑和注意力控制的测量。在第二阶段,参与者准备并进行了一场简短的演讲。只有那些注意力控制能力低的人,对公开演讲的恐惧才会对表现产生负面影响。因此,尽管存在表现焦虑,注意力控制似乎起到了一种促进成功自我调节的缓冲作用。
