, GENDER DIFFERENCES IN TEST ANXIETY AND EFFORT REGULATION 2


Gender Differences in Test Anxiety and Its Relationship with Effort Regulation

According to Varasteh, Ghanizadeh, and Akbari (2016), one of the primary objectives of

education is to prepare individuals to be effective learners and to be one, students need an

effective effort regulation. However, Varasteh, Ghanizadeh, and Akbari (2016) also state that

several factors can interfere with effort regulation, including test anxiety.

Effort regulation is defined as the continuity students show when they encounter a

difficult task. Test anxiety has an emotional (affective and physiological arousal aspects of

anxiety) and cognitive (a worry) component. This study aims to find an answer to the question of

how effort regulation and test anxiety correlate to each other.

The hypotheses for this research question are (1) that there is a negative relationship

between test anxiety and effort regulation and (2) that test anxiety scores are higher among

females than among males. As Varasteh, Ghanizadeh, and Akbari (2016) described, test anxiety

seems to interfere with effort regulation which means that high test anxiety results in low effort

regulation. Núñez-Peña, Suárez-Pellicioni, and Bono (2016) found that test anxiety is more

common among females in a self-report study that controlled for different test subjects. In this

study, test anxiety was not only more common among females, the reported levels of test anxiety

were also higher than among males.

Method

Participants

The participants of this study were 250 students from four different study programs of the

Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam: psychology (80.6%), pedagogy (9.7%), PMC (5.2%), and PA-

square (4.4%). However, three participants did not fill out the questionnaire so for this study the

data of 247 participants was used. Of these students, 26.2% were male and 73.8% were female.
