Abstract
To determine the relationship between test anxiety and college cheating, 117 Ss who had completed the Alpert-Haber Achievement Anxiety Test were subsequently asked to grade their own classroom examination papers. Although Ss with low grades were more likely to cheat and to have greater debilitating test anxiety, no relationship between cheating and test anxiety was found.Keywords
