A study examined the power of communication apprehension, person perception, network connectedness, and course satisfaction to predict learning outcomes in a college communication course. Subjects, 81 students from a multisection course, completed a variety of self-report instruments measuring their communication apprehension levels; perceptions of teacher attraction, character, sociability, extroversion, competence, and composure; satisfaction with the course; and perceptions of class social structure. In addition, the students' final grades in the course were recorded. Canonical correlation analysis revealed that approximately 60% of the variance in learning outcomes was accounted for by the interaction of psychological and social structures. (FL)
