Abstract

Public speaking ability is not without its challenges. One of the most
common challenges is public speaking anxiety. Public speaking anxiety
is a social communication disorder characterized by feelings of fear and
worry when speaking in front of a large audience. This study utilized an
experimental research design with a single-case research design (SCRD)
using an A-B-A pattern to determine the effectiveness of Rational
Emotive Behavior Counseling in reducing public speaking anxiety. The
subjects of this study consisted of three students (N=3) who experienced
severe public speaking anxiety and held irrational beliefs. The REBT
intervention was provided in six sessions. Data were collected before,
during, and after the intervention using the Nonoverlap of All Pairs
(NAP) calculation to measure the effectiveness of the intervention. The
results of this study showed a significant reduction in public speaking
anxiety scores following the implementation of REBT counseling. This
was evidenced by the effect size and RCI (Reliable Change Index)
scores, which indicated significant and reliable changes. Thus, Rational
Emotive Behavior Therapy was proven to be effective in reducing public
speaking anxiety
