Abstract
Long-term outcome of a treatment focus on public speaking anxiety in a female undergraduate sample. The aim of this study is to provide 2-year follow-up data as to a cognitive-behavioral treatment focus on public speaking anxiety in comparison to a control condition. The sample was composed by undergraduates who met social phobia criteria and speech phobia was primary fear. Subjects were assigned randomly to a experimental or control condition. Results show that the experimental vs. control subjects inform a marked reduction of anxiety both the postest and the follow-up. According to improvement criteria, at the follow-up nearly 80% experimental subjects met them. Results do support the short and long-term treatment efficacy for subjects with social phobia.
