p8: the role of state-trait anxiety and resiliency in test anxiety

the current study aimed to examine the role of state-trait anxiety and resiliency in test anxiety. the research was conducted on a sample of 153 high students who completed questionnaire measures of state-trait anxiety (stai-t), trait resilience (cd-risc) and test anxiety (ta).  pearson correlation and regression analyze were used to data analyze. consistent with the assumption, results indicated that both state-trait anxiety and resiliency were significantly correlated with levels of test anxiety. however, a multiple regression analysis showed that only state-trait anxiety could predict the test anxiety. taken together, these findings provide further support for the relationship between state-trait anxiety and test anxiety. findings also suggest the need to further explore the role of trait resiliency in test anxiety.
