Relation between State-Test Anxiety and Exam Performance in College Students: Preliminary Analysis of the Difference as per Course. Rev. Digit. Invest. Docencia Univ. [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.1, pp.166-176. ISSN 2223-2516. http://dx.doi.org/10.19083/ridu.11.492.
The objective of this study was to find out if the relation between State - Test Anxiety (S-TA) and Exam Performance (EP) varies between two groups of students from different terms. The study was conducted on 76 Psychology program students (87.1 % female) in the fourth term (n = 44), and the seventh term (n = 32), from a private university located in Lima Metropolitan Area, between the ages of 18 and 30 (M = 22.07). The State Test - Anxiety Inventory (S-TAI) and two brief measures-academic self-efficacy and academic emotional exhaustion-were applied. The relation found between S-TA and EP was negative and significant, but of different magnitude according to the academic term. The implications of the study are discussed.
