Effectiveness of a Rational Behavioral Emotive Program in Reducing Test Anxiety among University Students with High Academic Achievement

Abstract

The present study aims to identify the effectiveness of a rational behavioral emotive program in reducing test anxiety among university students with high academic achievement in Riyadh. The author adopted the quasi-experimental approach. The sample comprised (26) students with high academic achievement who were encountering test anxiety at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University (PNU) in Riyadh. The participants were divided into two groups: An experimental group of (13) students and a control group of (13) students. The author also used the test anxiety scale (Spielberger, 1972) and designed the rational behavioral emotive program using new electronic applications. The results showed statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental group students in the pre and posttests in favor of the post-test. There were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the two groups in the post-test of the scale in favor of the experimental group. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental group in the post and successive tests of the scale.
