Effects of Item Arrangement, Sex of the Subject, and Test Anxiety on Cognitive and Self-Perception Scores in a Nonquantitative Content Area.

Plake, Barbara S.; Ansorge, Charles J.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v44 n2 p423-30 Sum 1984

Scores representing number of items right and self-perceptions were analyzed for a nonquantitative examination that was assembled into three forms. Multivariate ANCOVA revealed no significant effects for the cognitive measure. However, significant sex and sex x order effects were found for perceptions scores not parallel to those reported previously. (Author/DWH)
