Is Journal Writing an Effective Method of Reducing Anxiety Towards Statistics?

Sgoutas-Emch, Sandra A.; Johnson, Camille Joy

Journal of Instructional Psychology, v25 n1 p49-57 Mar 1998

Journal writing was utilized by a group of undergraduate students in their statistics course. Performance, attitudes, and anxiety toward the course were compared with a control group. Results showed that students who kept a journal showed improvement in their grades, lower anxiety before exams, and lower physiological reactions. (JAK)
