The results reported here indicate that children's behaviour when responding to test demands can be fairly reliably described by the method adopted in this study, and that there is a substantial consistency in the behavioural styles so described over a period of time. (Author)

This study examined the effectiveness of systematic desensitization for reducing the anxiety of highly test-anxious students who differed in their level of generalized anxiety. (Author)
