Comparison of Relaxation as Self-control and Systematic Desensitization in the Treatment of Test Anxiety

Snyder, Arden L.; Deffenbacher, Jerry L.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 45, 6, 1202-3, Dec 77

Relaxation as self-control and desensitization were compared to a wait-list control in reduction of rest and other anxieties. Active treatments differed significantly from the control treatment. Subjects in both treatments reported less debilitating test anxiety, whereas desensitization subjects showed greater facilitating test anxiety. (Author)
