2YC3 Joules: Anxiety Reduction for Beginning Chemistry Students.
Abendroth, Walker; Friedman, Frank
Journal of Chemical Education, v60 n1 p25-26 Jan 1983
Anxiety reduction strategies (lasting 2.5 hours) were incorporated into chemistry laboratory sessions to reduce anxiety and increase academic performance. Treatment enabled students (N=23) to recognize and talk about their chemistry anxieties and experience relaxation techniques. Results showed that treatment significantly lowered level of chemistry anxiety and resulted in higher grades. (Author/JN)
