The objective of this pilot study was to associate the participants’ emotions while viewing footage of themselves, giving a public presentation and sociodemographic characteristics with the self-assessment when speaking in public. The Self Statements during Public Speaking Scale was applied. The level of significance adopted in the tests was p<0.05. A significance trend was considered when p<0.08. The sample consisted of 30 medical students with a mean age of 20.3 years (±1.6). The total score obtained was 37.8 (±5.9). These findings showed the self-assessment when public speaking was adequate and moderately high. The anger emotion was shown to be associated with gender and contempt with the year of the undergraduate course. Gender, happinessand religion influenced the self-assessment.
