ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, Alliant International University
This author conducted a comprehensive literature review that examined the associations of mindfulness, resilience, academic indicators, and test anxiety in school-aged pupils from the perspective of a beginning school psychologist. This comprehensive literature review aimed to investigate how mindfulness, resilience, academic indicators and engagement, and test anxiety impact pupils' academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Anxiety is a broad experience representing a widespread basis for poor educational outcomes. Research reveals that apprehensive student behavior correlates with episodes of test anxiety (Dawood et al., 2016). Mindfulness and resilience evidence-based strategies and interventions have been supported as valuable constructs for reducing test anxiety. Anxiety can be targeted through Gestalt Therapy, Rational-Emotive, and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (Meiklejohn et al., 2012). Primary and secondary pupils manifest test anxiety, especially before and after examinations and evaluations. Pupils suffer from various levels of test anxiety. Similarly, research on the implications of mindfulness, resilience, academic indicators, and pupils' engagement helps better understand the manifestation and treatment of test anxiety. Therefore, this author performed comprehensive literature reviews of specialists in various fields and subfields of psychology linked to mindfulness, resilience, academic indicators and engagement, test anxiety, Gestalt Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to gather information to address gaps in educational literature. Collected works highlight that mindfulness, resilience, academic indicators, Gestalt Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy are alternative functional constructs for school psychologists' understanding of test-anxious pupils and underpinning the mind-body connection.
