| Abstract | The significant number of firefighter trainees experiencing performance evaluation anxiety during fire training school was addressed by the implementation of anxiety reduction and performance enhancement strategies. Audiotape recordings were chosen as the primary intervention medium to facilitate program effectiveness within an established fire training regimen. The intervention modalities of relaxation training, cognitive therapy, and mental imagery were implemented with 10 firefighter trainees. Two primary screening devices, the Text Anxiety Inventory (Speilberger 1980) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Speilberger 1983) were used to determine the preintervention and postintervention levels of performance evaluation anxiety. The results indicated measurable positive anxiety-reduction effects with significant improvement in performance. It was concluded that the performance improvements were attributed to the vivid imagery dialogue and that this type of training presented on audiotape is most effective when used in conjunction with conventional training programs. (Includes 34 references. Appendixes to the study include measuring instruments, performance evaluations, relaxation dialogue, and imagery dialogue.) (Author/KC) |
