Correlates, Causes, Effects, and Treatment of Test Anxiety.
Hembree, Ray
Review of Educational Research, v58 n1 p47-77 Spr 1988
A meta-analysis of the results of 562 studies illustrates the nature, effect, and treatment of academic test anxiety (TA). TA correlated inversely to students' self-esteem and directly to their fears of negative evaluation, defensiveness, and other forms of anxiety. Ability, gender, and school grade level also affect TA.
