Description
This study examines the relationships between undergraduate students’ responses to conscientiousness and neuroticism inventories, their reported state-trait anxiety within one hour of a major exam, and their grades on that exam. The study found no statistically significant relationship between students’ reported state-trait anxiety before their exams and their final grades. However, a strong statistically significant correlation was found between students’ neuroticism inventory responses and their reported levels of state-trait anxiety. The study's research methods, results, and limitations are explained.
