Anxiety, according to Xxxxxxxxxxx (1983), is a brief emotional reaction characterized by sensations of tension and apprehension, as well as autonomic nervous system activation. Anxiety varies in degree and changes over time, and everything that increases anxiety reduces self-confidence and, as a result, willingness to communicate (WTC).
