| dc.description.abstract | This thesis explores the perceptions of mindset and mentality regarding public
speaking anxiety among university students in a national Islamic-based university in Yogyakarta,
Indonesia. The study reveals diverse views and types of mindset and mentality, with most
respondents displaying a tendency towards growth and learning when facing public speaking
anxiety. While aspects such as vulnerability, authenticity, challenge, and excitement were
prominent, self-empowerment, empathy, support, confidence, and fear of judgment were
generally low. The findings align with prior research and emphasize the significance of mindset
and mentality in shaping individuals' experiences and attitudes towards public speaking anxiety.
However, limitations exist, including a small sample size and reliance on self-reported
perceptions. Future research is recommended to employ a more diverse sample, utilize multiple
data collection methods, explore cultural factors' influence, and investigate interventions to
promote a positive mindset and mentality, offering valuable insights for educators and
practitioners in addressing public speaking anxiety among university students. | en_US |
