Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This replication study examines the relationship between test anxiety and academic performance in STEM courses across seven U.S. higher education institutions. The authors assess how student demographics and institution type influence anxiety levels, noting higher rates among Black students at predominantly white institutions. While confirming that test anxiety negatively predicts performance, the study reports that a cognitive reappraisal intervention did not significantly affect self-reported anxiety or course grades.
