The Causal Influence of Anxiety on Academic Achievement for Students of Differing [Intellectual] Ability.

Heinrich, Darlene L.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v3 n3 p351-59 Sum 1979

Results indicated that trait anxiety had a causal influence on state anxiety and on test performance. The possibility of a reciprocal relationship between state anxiety and performance was suggested.
