Performance Anxiety in the Young Child
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationships among state and trait anxiety, physiological changes, and performance in school-aged children. It was predicted that older children would have higher trait anxiety scores. High state anxiety was expected to raise pulse rates and lower performance for both age levels. Twenty-one kindergarten students and seventeen third-grade students served as subjects. The children completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children. They learned an age appropriate song and performed this song at home and at a concert. Pulse rates were measured both at home and the concert. Statistical analysis showed that the older children did not have higher T-anxiety scores. State anxiety was related to lower performance for the older children only. Even though pulse rates at performances increased over resting rates, pulse rates were not related to state anxiety. However, state anxiety was related to setting. The results from this study confirmed the complex relationship between anxiety and performance. This complexity must be kept in mind when considering the effects of educational practices on anxiety levels

A Follow-up Study of a Dropout Intervention Program Utilizing Experimental Counseling Strategies
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to determine the long range effects of a seven week summer dropout intervention program. The program featured academic remediation, job skills training and random assignment to one of three counseling models: Multidimensional, group or individual. Twenty-four male and 24 female economically and academically disadvantaged students averaging 15.5 years of age were tested in a pre-test, post-test, follow-up format on measures of dropout potential, locus of control and academic achievement. The Demos Dropout Scale revealed no change in attitude over the nine month period. Results obtained from Rotter\u27s Internal/External Scale revealed a general movement to a more internal locus of control for students in group and multidimensional counseling. Students in individual counseling achieved more external scores on the post-test but moved in an internal direction on the follow-up. Grade comparisons between the semesters preceding and following the intervention program revealed\u27 significant gains in science and mathematics for the students who received individual counseling. Students identified academic help as the most important feature of the program and job skills training as the most enjoyable
