Combined audience and video feedback with cognitive assessment improves anxiety and self-perceptions during speech tasks in socially anxious individuals. This study examined the effects of combined audience feedback with video feedback plus cognitive preparation and cognitive appraisal (which allows for deeper processing of feedback) on state anxiety and self-perceptions, including perception of performance and perceived likelihood of negative evaluation in socially anxious individuals during a speech. performance. Our results suggest that adding audience feedback to video feedback plus cognitive preparation and cognitive assessment may improve the effects of existing video feedback procedures in reducing anxiety symptoms and distorted self-representations in socially anxious individuals.
In line with these suggestions, Smits et al. 2006) investigated the effects of providing video feedback on audience responses to socially anxious participants following a speaking performance task. Socially anxious students were randomly assigned to a combined video feedback with cognitive preparation and audience feedback condition (CP+VF+AF), video feedback with cognitive preparation condition (CP+VF), audience feedback (AF) condition, or control condition (Control). These preliminary results led Chen et al. 2015) to suggest that combining video feedback with cognitive preparation and audience feedback may be more beneficial than video feedback alone for improving anxiety symptoms related to a social task.
Specifically, we sought to determine whether the effects of video feedback with cognitive preparation plus audience feedback could be sustained beyond the immediate manipulation and would transfer to another social context, that is, to that of a different speaking task. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the effects of video feedback with cognitive priming combined with audience feedback (and cognitive review) on state anxiety, self-perceptions of performance, and perceived probability of negative evaluations in socially anxious individuals. Students with social anxiety were randomly assigned to four conditions, namely Video Feedback with cognitive preparation plus Audience Feedback and Cognitive Review (CP+VF+AF+CR), Video Feedback with cognitive preparation, and Cognitive Review. CP+VF+CR), Video feedback only with cognitive preparation (CP+VF) and exposure without feedback (Control).
It was expected that participants who received auditory feedback in addition to video feedback with cognitive preparation and cognitive revision would have a significant decrease in their state anxiety and perceived likelihood of negative evaluation scores, and a significant increase in their perception of speech performance scores from before to after the feedback compared to participants in the other conditions.

The internal consistency of the SPS and SIAS in this study was .90 and .89, respectively. After viewing the videos, participants in the CP+VF+AF+CR condition received audience feedback followed by the cognitive review. One-way ANOVAs were conducted to compare participants on: (1) mean scores for the baseline measures (BFNE-S, SPS, and SIAS) in the four conditions; (2) knowledge of and perceived anxiety about the selected speech topics in the four conditions; and (3) vividness ratings of the images in the three conditions that received video feedback.
Calculation of within-subject effect sizes showed that from after Speech 1 to receiving feedback (or completion of the completion tasks) there were large effect sizes of v . Control conditions also showed a significant Condition X Time interaction (p = 0.01), while the comparison CP+VF vs. a significant Condition X Time interaction (p = 0.02) was also found for the comparison CP+VF + CR vs
In addition, effect sizes in the CP+VF+AF+CR condition for reduction of both state anxiety and perceived negative evaluation were two to three times as large as for the other conditions. Together with these large effect sizes in the condition with the addition of audience feedback and the non-significant differences between the conditions without audience feedback, our results illustrate the superiority of the combined audience feedback with video feedback plus cognitive preparation and cognitive review in improving participants' negative self-perceptions and state anxiety compared with them without audience feedback. In contrast, the superiority of the additional audience feedback condition compared to the other two active conditions implies that the change in negative evaluation expectations resulting from combining cognitive preparation and video feedback with audience feedback may have a more direct impact on anxiety.
