“…It has been widely believed that exam stress consists of two components, typically described as emotionality and worry, since the early 1970s [11]. Therefore, numerous studies on nervousness about exams have concentrated on improving testing stress measurements and identifying the unique effects of the two elements [12,13]. Since behavior modification strategies only diminished stress about tests when the emotionality component was tackled, Hembree hypothesized that test anxiety was essentially a behavioral issue [14].…”

“…Por su parte, los niveles de ansiedad rasgo se mantienen estables a lo largo del tiempo, en concreto, en puntuaciones por debajo del centil 50. Estos hallazgos están en consonancia con la literatura científica ya que la ansiedad rasgo es una medida de carácter estable que no varía con facilidad a lo largo del tiempo, sin embargo, la ansiedad estado sufre una alta variabilidad en función de los estímulos estresores a los que se enfrentan, en este caso, los estudiantes (Ávila-Toscano et al, 2020;De Castro Fernández y De Castro Fernández, 2019;Serrano Pintado et al, 2016;Shen et al, 2018).…”

“…Para afrontar la AE los estudiantes destinan más tiempo al estudio, buscan apoyo emocional o académico, practican relajación, reevaluación cognitiva, distanciamiento cognitivo o conductual de la tarea, entre otras estrategias Serrano, Escolar y Delgado, 2016). Si el malestar emocional persiste y se torna desbordante, el estudiante puede recurrir a una estrategia de evitación conductual del examen oral, que le permite mantenerse lejos de la situación valorada como amenazadora, posponiendo la confrontación con la misma, o alejándose de la situación amenazadora mediante el escape o la inhibición de la expresión (Elliot, 2008;Furlan y Sánchez-Rosas, 2018).…”

“…Para abordar las dificultades relacionadas con la AE se han formulado diversas intervenciones y realizados estudios para recabar evidencias de su eficacia (Escalona y Miguel-Tobal, 1996;Furlan 2013;Serrano et al, 2016). Existen experiencias muy diversas en cuanto a sus fundamentos teóricos y características técnicas (para una revisión ver Zeidner, 1998) y pueden encontrarse algunos meta-análisis que en general reafirman la eficacia de los procedimientos que incluyen fundamentalmente técnicas de exposición, desensibilización sistemática y reestructuración cognitiva (Ergene, 2003).…”
