“…Further, the findings confirm H2's claim that lack of preparation has a significant influence on academic failure. The findings of the current research are in line with previous research, as most of the researchers suggested that lack of preparation has a significant and positive influence on academic failure (Gadosey et al, 2021). Moreover, Past Experience of Failure has a significant influence on academic failure.…”

While the concept of student’s performance anxiety has received considerable attention in different branches of the social science literature, the factors of performance anxiety have been somewhat neglected, particularly with respect to the educational sector. Motivated by the need to further explore this concept, this paper empirically investigates the predictors of students’ academic failure and the mediating role of performance anxiety during exams. In the current research, researchers examined the effect of students' fear of results, lack of preparation, past experiences of failure, and cognitive inattention on academic failure via mediating role of performance anxiety between independent and outcome variables. The sample size consists of 502 students from renowned public universities in Pakistan. Data is collected from respondents using a self-administered questionnaire by utilizing a stratified sampling technique. The outcome of this study revealed that predictors have a direct and significant impact on the academic failure of students. The results of this study imply that students’ performance anxiety has a significant mediating role between predictors of students’ academic failure on academic failure. All in all, this research makes a unique contribution to university instructors since it gives information on the prospects for exam anxiety and helps them understand and sort out the issues that

“…Also, optimism acted as the main protective factor in decreasing anxiety in comparison with hope and gratitude as previewed in the fourth hypothesis. A negative correlation between anxiety and optimism was evidenced, according to the findings of Hutz and Nunes, 34 and Bastianello et al, 33 Furthermore, a negative association with hope, was according to studies by Gadosey et al, 44 and Long & Gallager. 45 In the correlation data, it is possible to observe that optimism, hope, and gratitude are positively related to each other, confirming the findings of Witvliet et al, 46 Kardas et al, 47 Vazquez et al, 29 and Biber et al 48 Although, on the hierarchical linear analysis is noticeable that the relations hip of gratitude with anxiety becomes positive, contradicting the negative association of these variables in Spearman's correlation.…”

Objectives: To investigate the role of optimism, hope, and gratitude as psychosocial factors for healthy development, especially with regard to anxiety in college students in the context of COVID-19.Methods: This is a quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional research. The sociodemographic questionnaire and the Brazilian versions of the anxiety scale B-GRAT, LOT-R, Hope Index, and BIG-FIVE were applied. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney correlation, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman, and hierarchical linear regression.Results: A total of 297 students were assessed. In the hierarchical linear analysis, the relationship of gratitude with anxiety becomes positive, contradicting the negative association of these variables in Spearman's correlation. The contradictions may result from the suppression effect. When gratitude was added to the model, these three variables together accounted for 38% of the variance in anxiety. This indicates that optimism, hope, and gratitude together are significant predictors, but optimism alone accounts for a large part of the variance for decreased anxiety. Conclusions:The data confirm that family and religiosity are protective factors against mental illness, specifically non-adaptive anxiety. Furthermore, developing optimism as a protective factor makes it possible to experience less anxiety while hope has the potential to provide the individual with multiple pathways to healthy development. This study has highlighted that gratitude plays a dual role in these relationships as it has the potential to be associated with anxious feelings with likely negative outcomes while at the same time it can drive positive psychosocial factors of optimism and hope in decreasing anxiety.

“…Meanwhile, the results of other studies reveal that delays in work assignments occur due to poor student motivation and no desire to accept challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic [16]. Anxiety, confusion related to learning are also factors for students to delay doing the assignments given [25], [26] shows that the strategy for adapting online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic must have cooperation with related parties, namely parents, educators, and students. The procrastination experienced by students causes a decrease in student academic achievement [27].…”
