Abstract

FURLAN, Luis Alberto. Efficacy of an Intervention Aimed at Reducing Test Anxiety in Argentinean University Students. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.1, pp.75-89. ISSN 0121-5469.

The effectiveness of an intervention designed to reduce test anxiety and academic procrastination, and improve regulatory self-efficacy was evaluated with 19 university students. The program promotes self-monitoring of the study strategies implemented, learning of cognitive -behavioural anxiety control techniques, and practice tests prior to the exam. Comparison of pre- and post-intervention results revealed moderate improvements. Thus, it is necessary to review procedures to improve adherence to the program and to increase the validity of the results.

Keywords : test anxiety; procrastination; intervention; university students.
