The gap
The mechanism by which humour performs cognitive reappraisal to reduce perceived social danger and boost self-efficacy in emotionally charged scenarios (public speaking, presentations) is theoretically proposed but not empirically tested with direct measurement of self-esteem changes or anxiety reduction in students using humour.; Future research should explore the implementation of integrative academic public speaking strategies in real learning contexts.
