Abstract Details

2016, Honors Theses, Ohio Dominican University, Honors Theses.
In the current study, academic optimism (including trust in professors, academic press, and identification with university) and study habits were explored as predictors of two dimensions of test anxiety: worry and emotionality. Using multiple linear regression, surface approach study habits and trust in professors emerged as predictors of worry, whereas identification with university emerged as a predictor of emotionality. Surface approach study habits and trust in professors accounted for 24% of the variance for worry, and identification with university accounted for 12% of the variance for emotionality. These relations held true for female students only. Future studies should continue to investigate the predictive value of academic optimism and study habits in college student test anxiety, as well as continuing to identify other predictive factors.
