一个新的措施，明确侧重于考试焦虑的认知层面的介绍和检查的心理测量质量相比，现有的考试焦虑的措施。新量表被认为是一个可靠和有效的测量认知考试焦虑。认知考试焦虑以及情绪性和考试拖延的影响，随后进行了评估，三门课程的考试和学生的自我报告的学业能力倾向测试的168名本科生的表现。认知考试焦虑水平越高，三门课程的考试成绩越低。高水平的认知测试焦虑也与显著较低的学业能力倾向测试分数相关。相比之下，拖延只与期末考试的成绩有关。认知测试焦虑的性别差异被记录在案。但这些差异与课程考试的表现无关。考试焦虑的情绪成分和表现之间的关系的检查显示，一般与较高的考试成绩的生理唤醒的中等水平。研究结果与考试焦虑的认知评价模型和信息加工模型相一致，支持认知考试焦虑对学业成绩有显著、稳定和负向影响的结论。(C)2001 Elsevier Science（美国）。
A new measure that focused explicitly on the cognitive dimension of test anxiety was introduced and examined for psychometric quality as compared to existing measures of test anxiety. The new scale was found to be a reliable and valid measure of cognitive test anxiety. The impact of cognitive test anxiety as well as emotionality and test procrastination were subsequently evaluated on three course exams and students' self-reported performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test for 168 undergraduate students. Higher levels of cognitive test anxiety were associated with significantly lower test scores on each of the three course examinations. High levels of cognitive test anxiety also were associated with significantly lower Scholastic Aptitude Test scores. Procrastination, in contrast, was related to performance only on the course final examination. Gender differences in cognitive test anxiety were documented. but those differences were not related to performance on the course exams. Examination of the relation between the emotionality component of test anxiety and performance revealed that moderate levels of physiological arousal generally were associated with higher exam performance. The results were consistent with cognitive appraisal and information processing models of test anxiety and support the conclusion that cognitive test anxiety exerts a significant stable and negative impact on academic performance measures.
