Effects of Test Anxiety on Performance, Worry, and Emotionality in Naturally Occurring Exams
Deffenbacher, Jerry L.; Deitz, Sheila R.
Psychology in the Schools, 15, 3, 446-9, Jul 78

High test-anxious subjects performed more poorly and reported greater worry and emotionality. Results provide greater external validity for Test Anxiety Scale. (Author)
