Download or read book Test Anxiety and the Passage of Time written by Irwin G. Sarason and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three experiments were performed dealing with the relationship of test anxiety and achievement-oriented instructions to time perception. After being given either achievement-orienting or neutral instructions, subjects waited for an undesignated period of time, after which they performed on an intellective task. The dependent measures were subjects' estimates of the duration of the waiting and performance periods and their scores on the assigned task. High test anxious subjects' time estimates were significantly greater than the estimates of the other subjects and their performance was at a relatively low level. Evidence is presented supporting the hypothesis that highly anxious persons under stress experience cognitive interference and preoccupation which makes time pass slowly and results in poor performance. The implications of the findings are discussed, particularly in terms of the need for training programs capable of fostering improved cognitive skills requiring self-control.
Download or read book Test Anxiety written by Marty Sapp and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to give students and researchers the confidence to understand, assess, treat, and research test anxiety. Marty Sapp presents the various cognitive and behavioral theories of test anxiety along with instruments for measuring test anxiety. He integrates statistical methodology, measurement, and research designs with actual research situations that occur within the test anxiety field. In addition, the SPSS codes for conducting sample reliability and validity are provided along with the codes for finding confidence intervals around population reliability measures. Like the previous edition, the logic of structural equations modeling is presented with the EQS structural equations program. Many researchers view test anxiety as existing of factors such as Sarasons’s four-factor model or Spielberger’s two-factor model. Both models can be easily analyzed by EQS. In terms of treatment, affective, cognitive, behavioral, hypnosis, systematic desensitization, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Eye-Movement Technique (EMT) are presented. This book integrates applied research designs and statistical and measurement methodology that frequently occur in the test anxiety literature, but the methodological treatment of research is nonmathematical. Finally, extensive discussions of treatments for test anxiety are provided.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Social and Evaluation Anxiety by : H. Leitenberg
Download or read book Handbook of Social and Evaluation Anxiety written by H. Leitenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time I have wanted to put together a book about sodal and evaluation anxiety. Sodal-evaluation anxiety seemed to be a stressful part of so many people's everyday experience. It also seemed to be apart of so many of the clinical problems that I worked with. Common terms that fit under this rubric include fears of rejection, humiliation, critidsm, embarrassment, ridicule, failure, and abandonment. Examples of sodal and evaluation anxiety include shyness; sodal inhibition; sodal timidity; public speaking anxiety; feelings of self-consdousness and awkwardness in sodal situations; test anxiety; perfor mance anxiety in sports, theater, dance, or music; shame; guilt; separation anx iety; sodal withdrawal; procrastination; and fear of job interviews or job evalua tions, of asking someone out, of not making a good impression, or of appearing stupid, foolish, or physically unattractive. In its extreme form, sodal anxiety is a behavior disorder in its own right sodal phobia. This involves not only feelings of anxiety but also avoidance and withdrawal from sodal situations in which scrutiny and negative evaluation are antidpated. Sodal-evaluation anxiety also plays a role in other clinical disorders. For example, people with agoraphobia are afraid of having a panic attack in public in part because they fear making a spectacle of themselves. Moreover, even their dominant terrors of going crazy or having a heart attack seem to reflect a central concern with sodal abandonment and isolation.

Download or read book Test Anxiety written by Moshe Zeidner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-27 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination stress and test anxiety are pervasive problems in modern society. As the information age continues to evolve, test scores will become even more important than they are today in evaluating applicants for demanding jobs and candidates for admission into highly competitive educational programs. Because test anxiety gen- ally causes decrements in performance and undermines academic achievement, the development of effective therapeutic interventions for reducing its adverse effects will continue to be an important priority for counselors, psychologists, and educators. Alleviating test anxiety will also serve to counteract the diminished access to edu- tional and occupational opportunities that is frequently experienced by test-anxious individuals. As its title promises, this volume provides a state-of-the-art evaluation of the nature, antecedents, correlates, and consequences of examination stress and test anxiety. Professor Zeidner’s cogent and comprehensive analysis of the affective, cognitive, somatic, and behavioral manifestations of test anxiety are grounded in the extensive knowledge he has gained from his own research on the assessment and treatment of test anxiety. This work has also benefitted from the author’s lo- standing and productive collaboration with leading contributors to test anxiety theory and research, and his active participation in national and international conferences devoted to understanding test anxiety, including those convened by the Society for Test Anxiety Research (STAR).

Book Synopsis Effects of Test Anxiety, Time Pressure, Ability and Gender on Response Aberrance by : Jing Chen
Download or read book Effects of Test Anxiety, Time Pressure, Ability and Gender on Response Aberrance written by Jing Chen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This research investigated the effects of test anxiety, time pressure, ability and gender (independent variables), as well as their potential interaction effects on response aberrance, as measured by W*, B*, INFIT, OUTFIT, X2dif, X2ord and M (dependent variables). In addition, the construct(s) underlying these 7 indices and the overlap in their aberrance detection were explored. Finally, 4 types of test-taking behavior associated with test anxiety and time pressure, namely, start-up anxiety, random guessing, early quitting and plodding, were examined with respect to the independent variables. The sensitivity of the 7 indices to the 4 types of test-taking behavior was demonstrated using a computer simulation study beforehand. The research data came from an English language test administered to 450 junior-high-school students in China. Half of the students received the test under the timed condition, and the other half under the untimed condition. For 5 of the 7 indices, ability was found to interact with the time condition with regard to response aberrance. Time pressure tends to impact medium- and high-ability students, but not low-ability students, on their response aberrance as measured by INFIT, OUTFIT and X2ord. For the within-ability component of response aberrance, students at all 3 ability levels exhibit an increase under time pressure, with low-ability students having the biggest increase. For the beyond-ability component of aberrance, students at low and medium ability levels exhibit a decrease under time pressure, while students at the high ability level show an increase. As expected, males consistently demonstrate higher aberrance levels than females, as measured by W*, INFIT, OUTFIT and M indices. Construct analyses for the timed group identified a general aberrance factor measuring deviance from the Guttman model; whereas, for the untimed group, a more specific beyond-ability aberrance factor was identified. The observed overlap in aberrance detection supports this finding. Normed against the Guttman model, INFIT, OUTFIT and M are indicators of general aberrance, while W*, B* and X2dif are indicators of more specific types of aberrance. In contrast, X2ord measures aberrance from yet another perspective different from the Guttman model. A self-report Test-taking Behavior Survey helps understand these findings. Further research needs are suggested.

Book Synopsis Crush Your Test Anxiety by : Ben Bernstein
Download or read book Crush Your Test Anxiety written by Ben Bernstein and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests cause a lot of stress and anxiety, but no more! Performance coach Ben Bernstein delivers a comprehensive training guide on how to improve test scores. These lessons avoid memorization and answering strategies and instead address the test-taker individually to determine what they need to perform well at test time. Based on 50 years of teaching experience and 35 years of practice as a clinical psychologist, this book distills the best practices used by elite athletes, performing artists, and top business executives to create a system that can be applied to any test, including the SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, GRE, GMAT, licensing exams, finals, and even driving tests. The system trains test takers to be calm, confident, and focused: the dependable “three-legged stool” for successful performance. Also included are special chapters for parents and teachers, as well as online access to additional test-prep material for individual use.
Book Synopsis The Effects of Increased Exam Time on Performance and Test Anxiety by : Nicole Marcus
Download or read book The Effects of Increased Exam Time on Performance and Test Anxiety written by Nicole Marcus and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators who administer exams are often met with student desire for extended exam time. Thus far, it has been unclear whether giving students additional exam time serves to improve their exam performance or if this accommodation simply helps students feel more comfortable with taking exams due to inconsistent results. We hoped to design an experiment that would effectively measure the effects of increased exam time on students' exam performance and test anxiety levels. Because academic performance is negatively correlated with test anxiety, we hypothesized that giving students twice as much to complete an exam would improve their performance, primarily by decreasing their test anxiety levels. We studied two academic quarters of students taking the same undergraduate physiology course. We administered isomorphic exams, with one quarter of students taking the exam with the standard amount of exam time and the other receiving double that amount of time. We compared midterm exam scores for both groups of students, as well as their test anxiety levels before and after the exams as measured via two surveys. We found that increasing exam time did not improve student performance or reduce their test anxiety levels. Increased exam time only reduced students' reported requests for additional exam time. The implications of our research are that increased exam time allows students to feel more comfortable with taking exams, and increases the likelihood that they will leave an exam feeling satisfied with their performance. Future research should account for demographic differences, as well as differences in academic ability and anxiety disorders, between experimental groups to accurately measure the relationship between increased exam time, performance, and test anxiety.
