Comparison of Induced Affect and Covert Rehearsal in the Acquisition of Stress Management Coping Skills.

Smith, Ronald E.; Nye, S. Lee

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v36 n1 p17-23 Jan 1989

Assessed effects on undergraduate students (N=54) of direct (induced affect) and generalized (covert rehearsal) cognitive-behavior coping skills programs for test anxiety. Found both training procedures significantly reduced test anxiety but that induced affect yielded largest anxiety decrease and greatest test performance improvement while covert rehearsal exhibited strongest generalization of treatment effects to general trait anxiety.
