Assessment of Test Anxiety

The major goals of this study are as fololws; 1) to examine the reliability of the Spielberger^ Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI). 2) to find out the factor structures for the TAI among Korean high school students. 3) to compare the mean score of the test anxiety among Korean students with that of foreign students. The results show th a t; 1) Test-retest reliability(0.82) and split-half reliability(0.87) show satisfactory results and it proves to be an internally consistent instrument(0.91). 2) Factor analysis revealed three factors and this suggests that there may be multiple dimensions of the test anxiety in Korean high school students. 3) Korean students showed much higher mean value of test anxiety compared to that of the three other foreign students. The author suggests concurrent use of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory of Spielberger, Sarason’s Test Anxiety Scale, or Liebert’s Worry and Emotionality Questionaire will be able to validate this inventory
