The purpose of this study was to determine whether test anxiety could be significantly reduced through regular practice of relaxation exercises or physical exercise. Test anxiety was assessed at pretest and posttest using the 37-item true-false Test Anxiety Questionnaire developed by Sarason. 47 undergraduate students self-selected to participate. The 9 subjects in the group who engaged in a nonmeditative relaxation exercise 3 times per week for 7 weeks showed a significant decline in test anxiety. The 16 subjects in a supervised aerobic dance class 3 times per week for 7 weeks improved their fitness and their test anxiety significantly declined. The 20 control subjects did not meet over the 7-week study ahd showed no significant change in test anxiety, fitness, or relaxation.
本研究的目的是确定通过定期进行放松练习或体育锻炼是否能显著降低考试焦虑。在预测试和后测试时，使用由萨拉森编制的包含37个是非题的考试焦虑问卷对考试焦虑进行评估。47名本科生自行选择参与。每周进行3次非冥想放松练习，共持续7周的组中的9名受试者考试焦虑显著下降。每周参加3次有监督的有氧舞蹈课程，共持续7周的16名受试者身体素质得到改善，考试焦虑也显著下降。20名对照组受试者在为期7周的研究中未进行干预，其考试焦虑、身体素质或放松程度均无显著变化。
