Emotional attention has been found as a key predictive dimension of stress. However, very few studies have investigated the relationship between emotional attention and test anxiety. The objective of the present study was to analyze the role of emotional attention, measured using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), on the level of test anxiety, and measured using the Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI). In addition, we examined the potential mediating role of Self-Rumination and Self-Reflection, as measured through the Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire (RRQ), on the relationship between emotional attention and test anxiety. The sample included 385 Spanish adolescents between 14 and 19 years of age. Mediation analysis results are consistent with a model in which Self-Rumination, but no Self-Reflection, mediates the relationship between Emotional Attention and Test Anxiety. Finally, several potential implications of these findings to improve quality of life in adolescents are discussed.
情绪注意力已被发现是压力的一个关键预测维度。然而，很少有研究调查情绪注意力与考试焦虑之间的关系。本研究的目的是分析使用特质元情绪量表（TMMS）测量的情绪注意力在考试焦虑水平上的作用，考试焦虑水平使用考试焦虑量表（TAI）进行测量。此外，我们还研究了通过反刍-反思问卷（RRQ）测量的自我反刍和自我反思在情绪注意力与考试焦虑关系中的潜在中介作用。样本包括385名年龄在14至19岁之间的西班牙青少年。中介分析结果与一个模型一致，在该模型中，自我反刍而非自我反思介导了情绪注意力与考试焦虑之间的关系。最后，讨论了这些发现对改善青少年生活质量的几个潜在影响。
