"The relationships of anxiety as measured by the Test Anxiety (TA) and General Anxiety (GA) questionnaires to entrance examinations and grade point averages were studied." Among the findings was the result that "TA scores tended to correlate negatively with measures of academic achievement, although with increase in number of years in college the negative correlation disappeared. GA scores failed to correlate significantly with entrance examination scores, but tended to correlate positively with grade point averages." From these and other results, the author concludes that "relationships between anxiety and achievement variables depend to an important extent on the nature of the instrument employed to measure anxiety."
