Anxiety Questionnaire

Invariance testing and correlational analyses were conducted on a new test anxiety questionnaire, the Test Anxiety Measure for College Students (TAM-C), with 1.050 Australian and U.S. higher education students. The samples were administered the TAM-C along with other questionnaires. Results from the aforementioned analyses supported a modified six-factor structure for Australian students, U.S. students, males, and females and strong invariance across countries and across genders. Latent mean factor analyses found differences across countries and across genders on the questionnaire and validity evidence for the TAM-C scores in the Australian and U.S. student samples were found. Implications of the findings for counselors and researchers who work with Australian and U.S. undergraduates are discussed.

Males And Females

A Task Index and an Occupations Index were each generated in a three-step process including general solicitation of tasks and occupations, solicitation of specific tasks and occupations, solicitation of specific tasks and occupations associated with one of the sexes more often than the other, and validation of the sex-relatedness of these same tasks and occupations. Means for each sex as well as for separate administrations which utilized different sets of directions provide an objective sex-related value for each item. Generally males and females ( n = 300 college students, 150 high school students) adopted similar values whether asked for expectation of performance or association on the Tasks Index or for desirability or qualifications on the Occupations Index.
