“…The motivational aspect of test anxiety, which consists of maladaptive goal-directed thoughts and actions, is a piece of the picture, but it remains unknown why situation-specific trait test anxiety persists as a self-reinforcing system. Intervention attempts that break up these beliefs and inclinations must be better understood in order to break up the underlying self-reinforcing beliefs and behavioral tendencies and give students with a strategy to lessen situation-specific feature test anxiety (Wan, Lin, Li, Tu, & Qin, 2022). Another element of integrating the motivational component in the test anxiety construct is the downstream impact on student test anxiety therapy.…”

The sample of the study consists of 70 female college students and 70 male college students to address the study variables, as of total sample was 140. Sample carefully chosen through the simple random sampling technique. To measure the test anxiety through anxiety scale of Fried Ben (Friedman et al., 1997) was utilized, which have 23 items and to measure the traits of personality Big five scale was used, which consists of 25 items with features of self-report (Howard et al., 1996). Data were collected through personal visit the colleges. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results of the study shows that female students had higher test anxiety than male students, and student’s personality likewise have significant test anxiety. Students' personalities and exam anxiety are favorably associated to negative emotionality and negatively related to openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness variables.

“…In the early studies of perfectionism, most researchers regarded perfectionism as a one-dimensional structure of personal standards, but since the late 1980s, scholars have increasingly tended to study perfectionism from the perspective of a multidimensional structure. Scholars represented by Frost, Marten, Hewitt&Flett, Owens, etc., proposed the multidimensional construct of perfectionism [18][19] , and later Frost classified perfectionism into false attention, personal standards, suspicious behavior, parental expectations, blame and organization [20] , and based on this theory, he compiled the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) was developed based on this theory. Later, Zi Fei and Zhou Xu revised the questionnaire with Chinese college students as the research sample, and finally revised and developed the Chinese version of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (CFMPS) , which has a good reliability and has a wide applicability in the measurement of Chinese college students' perfectionism [21] .…”

With the increasing pressure of choosing a career, college students have an increasingly obvious tendency to improve their competitiveness by obtaining higher test scores. Among many factors affecting test anxiety, family rearing style and perfectionism are two very important aspects. From the perspective of family environment and personality of college students, this study attempts to study the role of perfectionism in family parenting style based on the family environment and personality. perfectionism in family parenting style on exam anxiety. 185 college students were randomly selected by questionnaire to investigate their family rearing style, test anxiety and family rearing style. Paternal rejection had significant positive predictive effect on students' test anxiety, but had nothing to do with students' test anxiety. Paternal rejection had significant positive predictive effect on students' test anxiety, but had nothing to do with perfectionism; Maternal rejection was positively correlated with test anxiety and perfectionism. Parental overprotection has a significant positive effect on students' test anxiety and perfectionism. Parental overprotection has a significant positive predictive effect on students' test anxiety and perfectionism. The higher the perfectionism level of college students, the higher the degree of perfectionism, the higher the degree of perfectionism, and the higher the degree of perfectionism. The higher the perfectionism level of college students, the higher the degree of exam anxiety. Maternal rejection and parental overprotection influence test anxiety through the partial mediating effect of perfectionism. Family rearing style and perfectionist personality have an important effect on college students' test anxiety.

“…Based on Hofstede’s six cultural dimensions theory (2005), previous studies have documented the mediating effects of cultural values (e.g., individualism) on the associations between student self-efficacy and several independent variables (e.g., teacher self-efficacy) ( Bonneville-Roussy et al, 2019 ), but few studies have comprehensively assessed six types of cultural values and which is the most influential. Elucidating the complicated mechanism of cultural differences in shaping student self-efficacy might produce country-specific information on how student self-efficacy operates ( Bonneville-Roussy et al, 2019 ; Wan et al, 2022 ). Therefore, using countries’ ranking by student self-efficacy, we use classification and regression tree analysis to classify 42 countries into small groups that share similar Hofstede’s six cultural dimensions, and deconstruct the intricate relationships among these cultural values.…”

Self-efficacy is a vital personal characteristic for student success. However, the challenge of cross-cultural comparisons remains as scalar invariance is hard to be satisfied. Also, it is unclear how to contextually understand student self-efficacy in light of cultural values in different countries. This study implements a novel alignment optimization method to rank the latent means of student self-efficacy of 308,849 students in 11,574 schools across 42 countries and economies that participated in the 2018 Program in International Student Assessment. We then used classification and regression trees to classified countries with differential latent means of student self-efficacy into groups according to Hofstede’s six cultural dimensions theory. The results of the alignment method recovered that Albania, Colombia, and Peru had students with the highest mean self-efficacy, while Slovak Republic, Moscow Region (RUS), and Lebanon had the lowest. Moreover, the CART analysis indicated a low student self-efficacy for countries presenting three features: (1) extremely high power distance; (2) restraint; and (3) collectivism. These findings theoretically highlighted the significance of cultural values in shaping student self-efficacy across countries and practically provided concrete suggestions to educators on which countries to emulate such that student self-efficacy could be promoted and informed educators in secondary education institutes on the international expansion of academic exchanges.
