Komunikasi sangat penting untuk pribadi dan akademis, namun banyak individu mengalami kecemasan komunikasi, yang dapat menghambat kemampuan mereka untuk berinteraksi secara efektif. Penelitian ini menguji nilai prediktif antara frekuensi self-talk dan kecemasan komunikasi di kalangan orang dewasa muda Indonesia yang sedang menempuh pendidikan tinggi. Desain kuantitatif mengumpulkan data dari 115 peserta melalui Self-Talk Scale (STS) dan Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA-24). Analisis regresi berganda mengungkapkan bahwa frekuensi self-talk secara signifikan memprediksi kecemasan komunikasi (R² = 0.105, F(4, 110) = 3.24, p < 0 xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed>

Communication is essential for personal and academic success, yet many individuals experience communication apprehension, which can hinder their ability to interact effectively. This study examines the predictive value of self-talk frequency towards communication apprehension among Indonesian emerging adults in higher education. The quantitative design collected data from 115 participants through the Self-Talk Scale (STS) and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA-24). Multiple regression analysis revealed that self-talk frequency significantly predicts communication apprehension (R² = 0.105, F(4, 110) = 3.24, p < 0 xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed>
