Numerous attempts have recently been made to disambiguate the relationship between Language Learning Anxiety (LLA) and Oral Performance (OP). Nevertheless, these attempts have largely been hampered by a number of factors associated with the anxietal phenomenon on the one hand, and the lack of comprehensive scales capturing the whole gamut of anxiety on the other. Utilizing two valid, reliable and practical instruments, i.e. the AQ (Anxiety Questionnaire) and FLOSEM, the present paper draws upon the data to arrive at the Oral Language Skills (OLS) equation of best fit for the associated data th...

The three most common pediatric anxiety disorders—separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, and social anxiety—share the same underlying construct of anxiety, have significant symptom overlap, are highly comorbid with one another, and show similar familial relationships and continuity with adult anxiety and depressive disorders. For these reasons, the three disorders are often grouped together as they are in this section. The three anxiety disorders are described separately here; however, the reader should note that each etiology and treatment section is informative with regard to separation an...

A model of the genetic and environmental determinants of these three measures is presented. The contributions that such vulnerability factors make to anxiety and the anxiety disorders is estimated and discussed in relation to the issue of co-moribidity and the general neurotic syndrome. Some evidence is presented about the specificity of the various anxiety disorders even though other conditions may have co-occurred, for they are often found to be secondary to the index condi...

A composition researcher collected stories from students with writing anxiety, using qualitative research tools of interview and interpretation. In literary theory it is not unusual to speak of anxiety of influence when referring to the torment of proving one is equal to a revered author. The critic Harold Bloom presented it as his theory of the anxiety of influence, the title of his 1973 book that became the first of four to explore rivalry among successive generations of authors. Teachers should de-sanctify texts by encouraging discussion of the assumptions that underlie them and the recepti...

Eco-anxiety and climate anxiety are widely discussed in contemporary media and are subjects of growing research interest. However, there is a lack of research about the definitions and variations of these phenomena. This article analyzes various views of eco-anxiety from a wide range of disciplines. Insights from various anxiety theories are used to discuss empirical studies about forms of eco-anxiety. The article points out that uncertainty, unpredictability, and uncontrollability seem to be important factors in eco-anxiety. Most forms of eco-anxiety appear to be non-clinical, but cases of “p...

Due to the current lack of fitting treatments for anxiety, it is of interest to investigate which anxiety related concepts are best suited for interventions. One concept, the anxiety mindset, which measures whether a person believes that anxiety can be changed or not, has currently been evaluated as a promising predictor for anxiety symptoms. Trait anxiety, the predisposition of a person to experience anxiety, was also established as a predictor for anxiety symptoms. In this study, the anxiety mindset was evaluated in the relationship between trait anxiety and state anxiety. The research quest...

THE conceptual importance of anxiety has long been recognized by personality theorists; however, it is only recently that the measurement of anxiety has received an appropriate degree of attention. Several questionnaires or scales for the objective measurement of anxiety (9, 12, 13, 15) and projective test indices of anxiety (2, 3, 7) have been subjected to detailed empirical study. The present study is concerned with the comparison of two measures of anxiety, one derived from a self-rating scale, the other from the analysis of Thematic Apperception Test stories. Several previous investigators...

The measures included in this review should not be interpreted as diagnostically significant for an anxiety disorder, but should be used to measure the presence of symptoms and to calibrate the severity of general symptoms of anxiety commonly occurring in rheumatic disease.

This study investigates the correlates of statistics anxiety. Considering that statistics anxiety and spatial anxiety have been separately correlated with related constructs (e.g., mathematics anxiety, academic performance, etc.), the possibility that spatial anxiety plays a role in statistics anxiety is explored. When facing statistics or mathematics operations, people may imagine or visualize the task operations they must do to obtain the result. To examine this hypothesis, 778 students in a Social or Health Sciences program, enrolled in a –often mandatory– statistics course from Canadian, F...

The concept of Library Anxiety was formulated by Constance A. Mellon (1986). A quantitative instrument to measure library anxiety known as the Library Anxiety Scale was developed by Sharon Bostick (1992). Since then, there had been a significant increase in research studies related to library anxiety both. The recurring factor which prevails in these studies, particularly among non-native speakers of English, is that, barriers with staff and the use of English language are among the important antecedents to library anxiety. The objective of this study is to explore if there is a correlation am...

Introduction：Test anxiety is a pervasive problem among high school students in Korea. While anxiety in test situations may actually facilitate the performance of some students, more often it is disruptive and leads to performance decrements. Over the past years, many child psychiatrists have become concerned with understanding the nature of test anxiety, but it is not clearly understood yet. In order to understand the nature of test anxiety, the relationship between test anxiety and depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety was examined. In addition, the relationships between the subscores of t...

The data of the study was collected with the Test Anxiety Scale for Children, Mathematical Anxiety Scale and Personal Information Form, and the scores were tested for mean, t-test, F-test (ANOVA) and correl...

Abstract:This article sketches in which way clinical practice and the science of anxiety and anxiety disorders could benefit from an enactive approach. It starts with the clinical phenomenology of anxiety and anxiety disorder. It describes why traditional theories of emotion have difficulty doing justice to aspects of anxiety that are important in psychiatric practice, most importantly the contextual embedding and the self-referential nature of manifestations of anxiety. The article shows how an enactive approach provides a possible route to do justice to these two dimensions of anxiety, both ...

Anxiety and depression are two of the negative emotions described by Levenson (1994). These emotions, along with anger, tend to disrupt the emotional homeostasis of the body, while the positive emotions such as contentment tend to restore homeostasis. The actions of anxiety and depression may be synergistic but they differ in important respects. Anxiety usually has an obvious cause and also a goal (safety, and the avoidance of danger), whereas depression usually has no obvious cause and also has no goal. Depression is thought to be related to social factors in relation to other human beings, w...

For a full exposition of this theoretical model, see Barlow () and Zinbarg (). In brief, interactions among the following factors are recognized in the genesis of GAD: negative affectivity or neuroticism; attentional vigilance and narrowing to signals of potential threat; a tendency toward interpreting ambiguous situations as threatening; passive avoidance, overcautiousness, or procrastination; perceptions of uncontrollability and unpredictability; and cognitive avoidance, distraction, or other active efforts to resist or neutralize worrying.

ion Anxiety: A Factor of Mathematics Anxiety RONALD D. FERGUSON, San Antonio College The Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS), designed by Richardson and Suinn (Suinn, Edie, Nicoleti, & Spenelli, 1972), has become a popular instrument in the investigation of mathematics anxiety. Several studies have contributed evidence supporting the validity and reliability of MARS (Brush, 1978; Morris, Kellaway, & Smith, 1978; Suinn et al., 1972). In addition, Rounds and Hendel (1980) examined the dimensionality of mathematics anxiety by performing a factor analysis on the MARS. Two factors were retained...
