Abstract

This study attempted to find the mediating effects of social self-efficacy and achievement motivation on relationship irrational beliefs and speech anxiety of university students. The measurements used for this study are Irrational Beliefs Test, Social Self-Efficacy Scale, Achievement Motivation Test and Speech Anxiety Test. This study used correlation analysis, stepwise multiple regression and Baron & Kenny’s method for data analysis. The results of the study are as follows. First, irrational beliefs, social self-efficacy, achievement motivation and speaking anxiety are scored above average. Second, Speech Anxiety and irrational beliefs showed significant positive correlation. but social self-efficacy and achievement motivation showed significant negative correlation. Third, as a result of regression analysis on relation of irrational beliefs, social self-efficacy, achievement motivation and speaking anxiety, social self-efficacy variable was the most powerful predictor among all of the independent variables. social self-efficacy and achievement motivation mediated partially between irrational beliefs and speaking anxiety. By looking at these results, university students experience more speech anxiety as they have high irrational beliefs, as they have low social self-efficacy and achievement motivation. There is a practical significance of this study in that irrational beliefs, social self-efficacy and achievement motivation were found to be very important as an mechanism to reduce speech anxiety of university students. Finally, a limit of this study and implications were discussed based on the results of the study.
