Abstract: In higher institutions of learning, oral presentation is a common way for students to be assessed.No matter how prepared a presenter is, he/she still experiences some form of anxiety when it comes to facing audience during presentations.This quantitative study is done to explore the concept of reciprocal determinism for factors of oral presentation anxiety.This study is anchored by the concept of reciprocal determinism in social cognitive theory.The instrument used is a questionnaire with 14 items on environmental, personal and behavioural components.92 students participated in this study.Findings revealed the highest total mean is Behavioural components and is followed by the personal components.Presenters were least anxious with Environmental components.Additionally, this study also revealed strong, positive relationships between environmental components with personal and behavioural components.It also showed that there is also a strong positive relationship between personal and behavioural components.Findings in this study bear interesting implications on the teaching and learning of oral presentations among learners.
