The goal of this project was to convert my PHP Calculator to Javascript.
Communication apprehension (CA) is defined as an “individual’s level of fear or anxiety associated with either real or anticipated communication with another person or persons” - McCroskey
Using McCroskey's Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA-24) we can calculate an individuals score based on 24 questions, divided into 4 categories with 6 questions each. These categories are (1) public speaking, (2) interpersonal, (3) group, and (4) meeting skills.
McCroskey Says:
The PRCA-24 is the instrument which is most widely used to measure communication apprehension. It is preferable above all earlier versions of the instrument (PRCA, PRCA10, PRCA-24B, etc.). It is highly reliable (alpha regularly >.90) and has very high predictive validity. It permits one to obtain sub-scores on the contexts of public speaking, dyadic interaction, small groups, and large groups. However, these scores are substantially less reliable than the total PRCA-24 scores-because of the reduced number of items. People interested only in public speaking anxiety should consider using the PRPSA rather than the public speaking sub-score drawn from the PRCA-24. It is much more reliable for this purpose.
This is just a fun little experiment for me. I coded, quite badly if I do say so, a PHP version when I was doing my thesis, so I wanted to make it better and learn more in the process.
