Abstract
Stage fright heart rate during classroom public speaking was measured while speakers monitored what was assumed to be feedback of their heart rate measurements. Speakers in fact were monitoring false heart rate feedback controlled by the experimenter to display either unusually low or unusually high levels of stage fright. True stage fright heart rate was found to vary from the norm, according to the level of false feedback monitered by the speakers.Keywords
