SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary
The purpose of this study was to determine the re-
lationship that existed between student performance on
Stanford Achievement Test and anxiety as .measured
by the Test Anxiety Scale for Children.
The student population of the three sixth grades
in the Sam Houston Elementary School, Denton, Texas, was
used in this study. Seventy-one students participated in
the investigation. Each was administered the achievement
test in October of 1961 and again in May of 1962, at which
time the Test Anxiety Scale for Children was also admin-
istered.
The assumption was that there would be a significant
relationship between the mean achievement test scores and
performance on the anxiety scale.
Product-moment coefficients of correlation were com-
puted and their degree of significance obtained through
the use of Fisher's t. The level of significance was set
at .05.
