It can be concluded from the study that female students have relatively more fear of public
speaking then male students, as they have found mostly at moderate and moderately higher
levels of public speaking anxiety some of the male students reported with elevated levels of
anxiety while some also found with moderately low or low levels.
Notable differences are also found between genders, male and female speakers were observed
to face different levels of fears while speaking in public. According to a survey, women were
found to be more (27%) anxious in public speaking then men (14%) (Hancock, Stone,
Brundage, & Zeigler, 2010).
The base of the research on Abdur Rahman Aleemi & Yamna Hasan, (2018), p 65, a gender
may be a factor to play a role in anxiety attacks during public speaking bases. Conclude that
"the fear of public speaking is comparatively greater in female students than in male students".
This research also discusses why many people believe that people with more feminine
characteristics are more likely to experience anxiety issues during public speaking than people

who are more outgoing.

Here are some other tips to help you navigate public speaking situations
In preparation
Know your material. This doesn’t mean you should memorize your presentation, but
you should know what you want to say and have an outline of the key points. Give
special focus to the introduction, because this is when you are likely to be most
nervous.
Script your presentation. And rehearse it until you have it down cold. Then throw
away the script.

to apologize for being nervous. Instead, do your best to accept that stress is normal and use it
to be more alert and energetic.
Smile and make eye contact with any audience members you encounter. Take advantage of
any opportunity to spend a few moments chatting with them. Be sure to take several slow,
deep breaths to help calm you down if needed.
Finally, according to Timothy J. Legg, Ph.D., CRNP (2016), in this previous study, we can see
an anxiety attack in public speaking, can be overcome. Assume that there are three steps to
overcoming anxiety issues during public speaking, first in preparation, students know what
topic you want to address, the main point of the presentation, or plan the presentation and
rehearsal until it's cold. Then you throw the script free of charge. Second is like getting to
know the space before the presentation. The student will smile and make eye contact with any
members of the audience you encounter during your presentation. Make the most of any
chance to talk to them for a few moments. Be sure to take a few long, deep breaths to help you
calm down if needed.

Glossophobia, or a fear of public speaking, is a very common phobia and one that is believed
to affect up to 75% of the population. Some individuals may feel a slight nervousness at the
very thought of public speaking, while others experience full-on panic and fear. They may try
to avoid public speaking situations at all cost or if they must speak in public, they endure
shaking hands and a weak, quavering voice. How to overcome a fear of public speaking? With
persistence and preparation, it’s entirely possible to beat glossophobia.
Rosemary Black (2019) defines that anxiety attack during public speaking is known as
“Glossophobia”, it’s in the category of social anxiety disorder. This type of anxiety attack can make
this person avoid all social contact because the thing that people normally do may be uncomfortable to
him such as making small talk or eye contact.
