Abstract

This article examines anxiety theory, measurement, performance, and clinical parameters in educational settings. We begin by providing a historical backdrop for anxiety research and present a number of conceptualizations and distinctions, delineating key facets and components of anxiety. We move on to discuss measurement and assessment issues, focusing on self-report and alternative assessment procedures. We then discuss various forms of anxiety prevalent in educational settings and probe the anxiety-performance interface. We conclude by presenting a number of treatment and intervention programs and clinical considerations when treating test-anxious clients.
