The Measurement and Treatment of Test Anxiety.

Tryon, Georgiana Schick

Review of Educational Research, v50 n2 p343-72 Sum 1980

Various self-report test anxiety instruments were examined with attention given to their reliability and validity. Treatments directed toward test worry were more effective than treatments directed toward test emotionality. Self-reported test anxiety was found to decrease as a result of most treatment including pseudotherapy. (Author/CP)
