• W2228161708 abstract "This thesis explored whether adhering to an exercise program could significantly predict an individual’s level of communication apprehension (CA). The project expands the study of CA by analyzing a potentially new treatment option for alleviating this fear of communication. Specifically, it asked if an individual’s level o f exercise adherence (EA) as measured by the four components o f intensity, frequency, duration, and longevity could significantly predict an individual’s level CA in each o f the four contexts interpersonal conversations, group discussion, meetings and public speaking and overall. Five research questions were posited (one for each context and trait) and tested utilizing the Personal Report o f Communication Apprehension instrument (McCroskey, 1982) and an EA measure. Due to the study’s exploratory nature demographics such as age and gender were also examined in supplemental analyses. Results using SPSS-X stepwise multiple regression, Pearson r correlations and Deviations o f Linearity indicated partial support that a significant linear relationship exists between three o f the EA components and four o f the five CA scores, and a significant deviation from linearity relationship exists between one demographic variable and three o f the five CA scores. Discussion and interpretation o f results as well as recommendations for future research are given. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS So many people have contributed to the completion o f this thesis and my graduate studies that it would be difficult to name them all, but there are those I name here whose contribution has been so significant I may not have succeeded without them. Thanks to all my committee members for their enthusiasm: Dr. Kris Berg, for his exercise expertise; Dr. Karen Kangas Dwyer, for her CA knowledge, her encouragement and words o f wisdom, and her prayers; Dr. Deborah Smith-Howell, for her foresight that kept me in school; and my committee chair Dr. Randall Rose, for his sacrifices o f time, his guidance and his patience. Thanks also to Frank Hartranft for his time in preparing data; Drs. Neil McBride o f Grace University, and Robert Carlson o f UNO, for their love o f quantitative research methods and their willingness to help, and Dr. Michael Sherer of UNO for encouraging me and all graduate students to research something we were truly interested in. I am also grateful to many friends and family whose love, support and encouragement kept me going: especially, Theresa Hager, for insisting I setup a schedule; Meredith Christensen, for her hospitality and prudence; Gwen Schuman, for sometimes daily enduring my excitement and my frustration; Linda Brock, for helping me complete research methods; Beverly Carlson, for editing many papers; Rev. Virgil Ediger, for a simple question that got me back on track; all my brothers and sisters in Christ, particularly Diane White, for their many interceding prayers; and my parents, Carl and Marlys Thomas, for always supporting my educational and career pursuits, for helping me see through difficult times, and for being real I love you. I would be remiss to not acknowledge the one person my graduate studies has no doubt affected more than any other, and so I extend a heartfelt thank you to my husband, Calvin Carr. Thank you Calvin for helping me select a topic, for challenging me to continue, for functioning as my compass, and most o f all for “hanging in there.” I love you very much; I always have. Finally, and most importantly, my greatest thanks to my Lord and my God, my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you ... for my life on this earth and in You, for my health, my intelligence, my husband, my family and friends. All that I am, all that I have, all that I ever hope to be; I owe it all to Thee. Without You ... my life was and would be an empty existence, void o f any real meaning. Without You ... all I have done and ever will do would be futile “striving after wind.” Thank You for calling me and allowing me to hear" @default.
