Although many studies have been carried out on the psychometric aspects of computerized adaptive testing (CAT), its psychological aspects are less researched. Early studies claimed that CAT can be more motivating and induce less anxiety than traditional fixed-item tests (FIT). The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the effects of CAT on motivation and anxiety in comparison to traditional fixed-item testing. Seven databases were examined. Articles were eligible if they employed an empirical study containing a direct comparison between CAT and FIT. Meta-analytical results showed no overall effect of test type on anxiety and motivation when comparing CAT with FIT ( = 11, = 0.06, = .28). However, easier CAT had positive effect compared with FIT ( = 2, = .22, < .001). Certain modifications in CAT administration can provide positive psychological effects for test-takers.
虽然已经有许多研究针对计算机化自适应测验（CAT）的心理计量学方面进行了探讨，但对其心理学方面的研究却较少。早期的研究声称，与传统的固定项目测验（FIT）相比，CAT 可以更具激励性并降低焦虑感。本系统评价和荟萃分析的目的是全面了解 CAT 对动机和焦虑的影响，并与传统的固定项目测试进行比较。对七个数据库进行了检查。如果文章采用实证研究，对 CAT 与 FIT 进行了直接比较，则符合入选标准。荟萃分析结果表明，在比较 CAT 与 FIT 时，测验类型对焦虑和动机没有总体影响（ = 11， = 0.06， =.28）。但是，与 FIT 相比，较简单的 CAT 具有积极的效果（ = 2， =.22， <.001）。在 CAT 管理方面进行某些修改可以为应试者提供积极的心理影响。
