An instrument to assess self-statements during public speaking: Scale development and preliminary psychometric properties
Open accessAbstract
Public speaking is the most commonly reported fearful social situation. Although a number of contemporary theories emphasize the importance of cognitive processes in social anxiety, there is no instrument available to assess fearful thoughts experienced during public speaking. The Self-Statements During Public Speaking (SSPS) scale is a 10-item questionnaire consisting of two 5-item subscales, the "Positive Self-Statements" (SSPS-P) and the "Negative Self-Statements" subscale (SSPS-N). Four studies report on the development and the preliminary psychometric properties of this instrument.

“Utilized in 13 cases (65% of studies), the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS; Liebowitz, 1987) constituted the most common instrument to assess symptoms of SAD and PSA as a primary or secondary outcome, directly followed by the Self-Statements During Public Speaking questionnaire (SSPS; Hofmann and DiBartolo, 2000), which was used in 6 cases (30% of the studies).”

“Cronbach’s alpha for the positive subscale was .80 and for the negative subscale was .86, and test–retest reliability was acceptable for both subscales (Hofmann & DiBartolo, 2000).”

In the citing paper
“Although the SSPS-N subscale has shown the greatest sensitivity to change (Hofmann & DiBartolo, 2000), to maximize the number of scale items, all 10 items were used and positive scale items were reverse coded.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
