The current study investigated the developmental trajectories of academic burnout and test anxiety, alongside the relationship between these constructs and the moderating effect of perfectionistic concern over mistakes, employing latent growth curve model. A total of 427 Chinese adolescent students completed the Adolescent Student Burnout…

The present study examined whether cultural differences in different dimensions of perfectionism exist and whether different dimensions of perfectionism (i.e., rigid and self-critical perfectionism) predicted different dimensions of test anxiety while controlling for depression in a sample of Canadian and Singapore higher education students. In…

The present study examined the associations of academic resilience and achievement goals with test anxiety, and the moderating role of achievement goals in the relation between academic resilience and test anxiety among 1632 secondary one students from eight secondary schools in Singapore. Results showed that students who reported lower levels of…

The present study was conducted using latent profile analysis to determine whether homogeneous test anxiety groups could be identified among 625 undergraduates and to determine whether gender, self-critical perfectionism, and rigid perfectionism were significant predictors of class membership in the identified test anxiety groups. The students…

Practice testing (i.e., practice retrieval) has been established as an effective learning strategy. Uncovering potential factors influencing self-testing usage is a prerequisite to promote its practical use. The present study reports five experiments exploring whether test anxiety (TA) and test stake (1) affect self-testing usage (Experiments 1-5)…

Students who suffer from test anxiety go through a stressful and unpleasant experience that could harm their physical and mental health long term. This study examines the prevalence of test anxiety in Malaysia and investigates the association of test anxiety with socio-demographic factors. A cross-sectional survey comprising demographic data and…

The current study examined the adjustment to higher education among students with mental health disorders, focusing on adjustment to post-secondary education, emotional and metacognitive variables. The participants were 123 students who had already completed at least one year at an institution of higher education: 63 students who self-identified…

Test anxiety is the fear of students about negative results of the evaluative procedures. Low to moderate level of test anxiety is often thought beneficial for students. Test anxiety has two components worry and emotionality that are found in test anxiety research work. Academic Achievement encompasses students' academic potential. It is a common…

This study compared reported chemistry anxiety in an undergraduate chemistry course between online and classroom students. Results indicated slightly higher levels of anxiety for online students although findings were not statistically significant. However, activities resulting in high anxiety for both groups were identified. Gender was identified…

Cognitive test anxiety is a considerable barrier to academic success. The control value theory of achievement emotions suggests emotions within academic situations--including test-anxious responses--follow from control and value appraisals. Furthermore, the control value theory suggests a multitude of individual-level factors that influence…

Teachers and peers are two influential social agents in students' academic functioning. In the present study, we differentiated perceived social relationships into positive and negative aspects and investigated how these perceptions influence students' motivation and educational outcomes. Results based on 2211 Chinese middle school students…
