Dwyer and Davidson's 2012 research traces the genesis and transformation of the story behind myths about Americans' greatest fears. The story starts with research, publicized in a 1973 "London Times" article, which essentially unmasked an almost mythic tale about public speaking being Americans' worst fear. Dwyer and Davidson were able to replicate the original study after altering the questions to focus on college students facing the start of a public speaking course. They found that "students selected death as their top fear most often, followed by public speaking, and then financial problems. So, is public speaking not really the number one fear? It is the most common fear, selected by students more often than other fears. However, it is not the top rated fear, death is" (Dwyer & Davidson, 2012, p. 107). Not surprisingly, public speaking college faculty experience the effects of this speaking fear when student-speakers give presentations in their classes. This is what serves as motivation to look further into the role communication centers might have in supporting the management of public speaking anxiety (PSA). This article follows the evolution of one particular communication center's use of an artistic activity in what starts as a means of aiding speakers with managing their PSA.
