Test Anxiety, Test Anxiety and Performance in Math Test, Cognitive Component in Test AnxietyAbstract
The first purpose of this study was to investigate how much anxious adolescent boys and girls (N: 406) were in a Math test at Elementary School. A test on anxiety was assessed through Morris et alii's Questionnaire which discriminates worry and emotionality components. Results showed that between 7% and 10% of the subjects were highly anxious during all the Math test, and that female subjects were outnumbered when the emotionality component was considered. In addition, lower scores on that Math test were significantly associated to higher scores in worry component. This result supports the cognitive intentional view of performance deficits, currently defended by several researchers.
