The Interaction of Test Anxiety and Success-Failure Experiences in Determining Children's Arithmetic Performance
Hill, Kennedy T.; Eaton, Warren O.
Developmental Psychology, 13, 3, 205-211, May 77
Effects of the motives to approach success and to avoid failure were studied in 60 fifth- and sixth-grade boys and girls of low, middle, and high levels of test anxiety. Findings indicated that anxious children perform poorly due to motivational difficulties rather than to learning deficiencies. (Author/JMB)
