Abstract: (27 Views)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of rumination and emotional disturbance in the relationship between environmental stressors and public speaking anxiety among students at Payame Noor University and the Islamic Azad University in Meshkinshahr. This correlational study involved 220 students and graduates from these two universities. Data were collected using the Public Speaking Anxiety Questionnaire, Yousefi’s Rumination Scale, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) by Lovibond, Fraser’s Classroom Psychosocial Climate Scale, Hillburn’s Family Emotional Climate Scale, and measures of financial well-being/strain. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods via the AMOS software. The findings indicated that the family’s psychological climate, rumination, and emotional disturbance have a significant direct relationship with public speaking anxiety; conversely, the direct relationships between the classroom psychological climate and financial strain with public speaking anxiety were not significant. An examination of the mediating roles revealed that rumination acts as a mediator in the relationship between classroom psychological climate and public speaking anxiety, as well as between family psychological climate and public speaking anxiety; however, the mediating role of emotional disturbance in these relationships was not supported. Furthermore, both rumination and emotional disturbance served as mediators in the relationship between financial strain and public speaking anxiety. Based on these findings, focusing on the quality of interpersonal relationships within the family, as well as the cognitive and emotional processes associated with anxiety, can be effective in designing psychological interventions aimed at reducing public speaking anxiety among students.
