The current study explored the psychometric properties of the newly designed Turkish version of the Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale–Revised (CTAR). Results of an exploratory factor analysis revealed an unidimensional structure consistent with the conceptualized nature of cognitive test anxiety and previous examinations of the English version of the CTAR. Examination of the factor loadings revealed two items that were weakly related to the test anxiety construct and as such were prime candidates for removal. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to compare model fit for the 25- and 23-item version of the measure. Results indicated that the 23-item version of the measure provided a better fit to the data which support the removal of the problematic items in the Turkish version of the CTAR. Additional analyses demonstrated the internal consistency, test–retest reliability, concurrent validity, and gender equivalence for responses offered on the Turkish version of the measure. Results of the analysis revealed a 23-item Turkish version of the T-CTAR is a valid and reliable measure of cognitive test anxiety for use among Turkish students.

The present study attempted to investigate the mediating effect of Cognitive Test-anxiety (CTA) between the relation of Core Self-evaluation (CSE) and academic performance. Sample consisted of 599 class 12 students from different schools in Kolkata belonging to both English and Bengali medium schools and from both science and humanities streams. Subjects were selected according to the inclusion criteria to maintain homogeneity of sample. To carry out mediation analysis PROCESS macro for SPSS by Preacher & Hayes, 2004 was used. Data was analyzed using SPSS 22 version. Results showed CSE positively predicted academic performance which was significantly mediated by CTA. It can be said that CSE being a dispositional variable its relation with academic performance can be strengthened or weakened by underlying cognitive factors, one important among them being CTA which predisposes an individual to experience anxiety in evaluative situations thereby lowering performance.

Cognitive Test Anxiety

Academic dishonesty is a critical educational concern across all educational levels in the world. The trend is pervasive among higher education students and undermines human and national developments. This study examined academic dishonesty among students in tertiary institutions in Kogi State, Nigeria, based on their subjective test anxiety. One hundred and thirty-seven undergraduates participated in the study. The students were approached between July and September 2021, and they completed self-report measures of the Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale and the Academic Dishonesty Scale. The data were analyzed using a simple linear regression model. The finding revealed that test anxiety accounted for 56.2% of the variation in academic dishonesty. Our result supports literature indicating a link between test anxiety and academic dishonesty among higher education students. We recommend that a simulation exercise is vital in preparing students for assessments.
