Academic Anxiety, Locus of Control, and Achievement in Medical School.

Grover, Paul L.; Smith, Douglas U.

Journal of Medical Education, v56 n9-1 p727-36 Sep 1981

Relationships among prior achievement, academic anxiety, locus of control, and performance in the first year of medical school were examined. Academic anxiety was found to be significantly related to first-year performance and when combined with a measure of prior achievement, resulted in a significant increase in prediction. (Author/MLW)
