The purpose was to investigate the relationship of self-reported study habits to anxiety about learning foreign languages. 219 college students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds were enrolled in either Spanish, French, German, or Japanese classes. Correlational analyses, using the Bonferroni adjustment, indicated that students with the highest anxiety about foreign languages tended to report that (1) they spend too much time on some subjects and not enough time on others, (2) they frequently do not get enough sleep and feel sluggish in class or when studying, (3) they do not try to space study period to avoid becoming too tired while studying, and (4) they have trouble settling down to work and do not begin to study as soon as they sit down. The implications of these findings are discussed.
目的是调查自我报告的学习习惯与学习外语焦虑之间的关系。219名来自不同学科背景的大学生参加了西班牙语、法语、德语或日语课程。使用邦费罗尼校正的相关分析表明，对外语焦虑程度最高的学生倾向于报告：（1）他们在某些科目上花费时间过多，而在其他科目上花费时间不足；（2）他们经常睡眠不足，在课堂上或学习时感到迟钝；（3）他们不尝试安排学习时间间隔以避免学习时过于疲惫；（4）他们难以静下心来学习，坐下后不能马上开始学习。讨论了这些发现的意义。
