Abstract

This longitudinal study examined the possible antecedents and consequences of academic worries about the secondary school transition. It had two main goals. The first goal was to examine bidirectional links between student academic worries and their academic amotivation and test anxiety during the last two years of primary school (Grades 5 and 6). The second aim was to investigate the contribution of these factors to student school functioning after the transition. A sample of 341 students (49 % boys; M_age = 10.78) and one of their parents took part in the study. Results of structural equation modeling revealed that test anxiety positively predicted academic worries; academic worries positively predicted amotivation in Grade 6; academic worries and amotivation negatively predicted achievement and positively predicted academic maladjustment in secondary school; and test anxiety positively predicted academic maladjustment in secondary school. Implications for school-based interventions are discussed.

学生对中学升学忧虑的前因后果

这项纵向研究探讨了中学升学忧虑的前因后果。研究有两个主要目标。第一个目标是研究小学最后两年（5 年级和 6 年级）学生的学业忧虑与他们的学习动力不足和考试焦虑之间的双向联系。第二个目标是研究这些因素对学生转学后学校功能的影响。共有 341 名学生（49% 为男生；Mage = 10.78）和他们的一名家长参与了这项研究。结构方程模型的结果显示，考试焦虑正向预测学业忧虑；学业忧虑正向预测六年级学生的学习动力不足；学业忧虑和学习动力不足负向预测成绩，正向预测中学阶段的学业不适应；考试焦虑正向预测中学阶段的学业不适应。本文讨论了校本干预的意义。
