To explore the relationship between test anxiety and personality, self-esteem in grade one senior high school students.
Totally 538 senior high school students of grade one were investigated by Test Anxiety Scale (TAS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Self-Esteem Scale (SES) in a Senior High School in Shandong Province.
The prevalence of test anxiety among all the surveyed students was rated 65.2%. The Psychoticism (P) (51.60 +/- 9.66) or Neuroticism (N) (51.57 +/- 10.75) factor score of EPQ in students with test anxiety was significantly higher than that in students without test anxiety (48.07 +/- 8.62, 45.65 +/- 10.14) (P < 0.001), while the Extroversion or Introversion (E) score (50.76 +/- 11.09) was on the contrary (53.68 +/- 11.60) (P < 0.01). The total score of TAS was significantly positively related to the P (r = 0.14) and N (r = 0.36) factor score and significantly negatively related to the E factor score of EPQ (r = -0.15) (P < 0.001). The prevalence of test anxiety in introversive students (72.3%) was higher than that in extroversive students (53.2%) (P < 0.05), and that in students with unstable emotion (81.4%) and in students with apparent psychoticism (84.1%) were also higher than that in those with stable emotion (41.0%) and in those without psychoticism (57.7%) (P < 0.01). The total score of SES in students with test anxiety (29.12 +/- 4.41) was significantly lower than that in students without test anxiety (30.29 +/- 4.25) (P < 0.01). The total score of TAS was significantly negatively related to the total score of SES (r = -0.23) (P < 0.001).
Test anxiety should be related to the personality and self-esteem, and the prevalence of test anxiety in introversive, unstable emotional, apparent psychoticism or low self-esteem students should be higher.
探讨高一学生考试焦虑与人格、自尊之间的关系。
采用考试焦虑量表（TAS）、艾森克人格问卷（EPQ）和自尊量表（SES）对山东省某高中的538名高一学生进行调查。
所有被调查学生中考试焦虑的发生率为65.2%。有考试焦虑的学生EPQ的精神质（P）（51.60±9.66）或神经质（N）（51.57±10.75）因子得分显著高于无考试焦虑的学生（48.07±8.62，45.65±10.14）（P<0.001），而内外向（E）得分（50.76±11.09）则相反（53.68±11.60）（P<0.01）。TAS总分与EPQ的P（r=0.14）和N（r=0.36）因子得分显著正相关，与E因子得分显著负相关（r=-0.15）（P<0.001）。内向学生的考试焦虑发生率（72.3%）高于外向学生（53.2%）（P<0.05），情绪不稳定学生（81.4%）和有明显精神质的学生（84.1%）的考试焦虑发生率也高于情绪稳定学生（41.0%）和无精神质的学生（57.7%）（P<0.01）。有考试焦虑的学生SES总分（29.12±4.41）显著低于无考试焦虑的学生（30.29±4.25）（P<0.01）。TAS总分与SES总分显著负相关（r=-0.23）（P<0.001）。
考试焦虑与人格和自尊有关，内向、情绪不稳定、有明显精神质或自尊低的学生考试焦虑发生率较高。
