Abstract

Based on self-schema and flow theory, this study investigates the relationship among self-schema of interpreting anxiety (SIA), interpreting flow (IF) and interpreting quality (IQ). Hybrid research methods are adopted is this study, including questionnaire and semi-structured interview. A structural equation model is developed to verify the moderating effect of interpreting anxiety (IA) and test the casual effects among those constructs to explore the cognitive process and the source and effect of IA. The empirical results show that (1) SIA has a significant positive effect on IF;(2) IF has a significant positive effect on IA;(3) Student interpreters of different IA degrees show significant differences in the relationship among SIA, IF and IQ;(4) For student interpreters, the sources of IA mainly derive from a lack of confidence and interpreting skills and concerns for the environment of interpreting. Based on the empirical results, implications for interpreting training of student interpreters are proposed, including construction of SIA, arousing IF, building self confidence in order to improve IQ.
