Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the relationship between general self-efficacy, state and trait anxiety and test anxiety in private university students of psychology and psycho-pedagogy careers from Argentina. Results showed positive correlations between trait anxiety and test anxiety, and between state anxiety and test anxiety. Negative correlations emerged between general self-efficacy and state anxiety, trait anxiety and test anxiety. It was possible to verify that high levels of general self-efficacy together with low levels of trait anxiety predicted 27% test anxiety variance. While similar results were found in previous works, these findings amplify the scope of research to specific contexts such as Latin American university students. It is recommended to continue the study of these variables in situations as close as possible to the exam situation and considering changes in educational setting worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus allowing the promotion of student’s welfare throughout programs that promote general self-efficacy as a protective variable.

自我效能感、状态-特质焦虑与认知考试焦虑的关系:阿根廷大学生的研究

本研究旨在探讨和分析阿根廷私立大学心理学和心理教育学专业学生的一般自我效能感、状态和特质焦虑以及考试焦虑之间的关系。结果表明，特质焦虑与测试焦虑呈正相关，状态焦虑与考试焦虑呈正相关。一般自我效能感与状态焦虑、特质焦虑和测试焦虑呈负相关。可以证实，高水平的一般自我效能感和低水平的特质焦虑预测了27%的测试焦虑方差。虽然在以前的工作中也发现了类似的结果，但这些发现将研究范围扩大到了特定的背景，如拉丁美洲大学生。建议在尽可能接近考试情况的情况下继续研究这些变量，并考虑到新冠肺炎大流行导致的全球教育环境的变化，从而在促进一般自我效能作为保护变量的整个项目中促进学生的福利。
