Abstract
Alpha factor analyses and standard independent cluster rotations were applied to scores on 12 modes of anxiety response obtained on four samples selected from 264 boys and girls in Grades 6, 7, and 8 in the Norwegian elementary public school system. The worry-emotionality distinction of test anxiety was clearly supported in all samples with the exception of Grade 6. No sex differences in the factor structure across grade levels were obtained. The findings also supported the notion that the worry-emotionality distinction represents a pattern of anxiety responses that is characteristic of an individual.Keywords
