Abstract
The factor structure of the Test Anxiety Scale for Children was compared for 484 boys and 486 girls in seventh grade of the Norwegian elementary public school system. Alpha factor analyses were performed, coupled with standard independent cluster rotations. The results did not support an a priori factor structure across sexes. Comparisons with American factor studies of the same scale were made, and the obtained sex difference was discussed in terms of cultural differences.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
