Overcoming the Problem of Learned Helplessness.
Ganz, Barbara C.; Ganz, Martin N.
College Teaching, v36 n2 p82-84 Spr 1988
Results of a study of test anxiety among community college students are reported, and their implications for intervention are discussed. It is suggested that evaluation anxiety be reduced by reducing emotional arousal, modifying the learning environment, developing a cognitive task orientation, and involving the college staff in cooperating for the students' success.
