An Additive Model of Test Anxiety: Role of Exam-Specific Expectations.
Zohar, Dov
Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n2 p330-40 Jun 1998
A study with 118 high school students tested the hypothesis that anxiety concerning examinations covering different subjects (the Scholastic Assessment Test) is an additive function of dispositional text anxiety and the anticipated results of individual tests. Results indicate that the anxiety associated with different exams is an incremental function of dispositional and situational factors. (SLD)
