The study population was students attending the Music Education branch of Fine Arts Education Departments in Educational Faculties in Turkey with the sample comprising 256 students attending the Music Education branch of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Pamukkale University and Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University during the 2016-2017 academic year. For data collection in the study, the Individual Instrument Performance Test Anxiety Scale developed by Dalkıran et al. (2014) and the Adjective-based Personality Test developed by Bacanlı et al. (2009) according to the five factor concept were used. Correlation analysis was performed to test whether there was a significant correlation between the individual instrument performance anxiety of students and the five factor personality traits. Additionally, to determine the predictive power of the five factor personality traits on individual instrument test performance anxiety of Music Education branch students, standard multiple regression analysis was performed. Data were tested at the significance level of 0.05. According to the obtained data, it can be said there is a significant correlation between the individual instrument performance anxiety levels and the five factor personality traits of Music Education branch students. A positive and high level relationship was identified between performance anxiety levels and the five factor personality trait of emotional balance/neuroticism, while there was no correlation with agreeableness and performance anxiety level. Extraversion and openness to experience had a negative correlation with performance anxiety level, while there was a positive correlation observed between conscientiousness and performance anxiety.

Background:Electromyography (EMG) is a useful test, but unfortunately also painful. We frequently encounter patients who worry about its painful nature, but tolerate it very well. Objectives: We evaluated anxiety levels of patients referred for EMG to explore the possible correlating and contributing factors to high anxiety.Methods:A structured questionnaire, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was completed by patients immediately before EMG testing. Emergency, hospitalized, and seriously ill patients were excluded.Results:Seventy-nine cases with ages ranging from 19-72 years (mean 43) were included. Thirty-five (44%) patients had a high pre-test anxiety level. The likelihood of high anxiety was increased if the patient was worried about the test (p<0.001) or about other issues unrelated to the test or underlying diagnosis (p<0.001), or was taking an anti-psychotic or anxiolytic drug (p=0.008). The degree or source of knowledge regarding the test procedure, did not affect the pre-test anxiety level.Conclusion:The information about EMG testing received by patients in this group did not affect pre-test anxiety levels. The patient's expectations regarding the test did influence anxiety levels and this may reflect generalized anxiety regarding testing procedures or misinformation regarding the nature of the test, as patients in general reported a better than anticipated experience following the test.

The aim of this study was to validate the psychological advantages of viewing forest landscapes. Moreover, the associations between trait anxiety levels and psychological responses were evaluated. A total of 650 university male students (age, 21.7 ± 1.6 years) viewed a scenery in a forested area and an urban area for 15 min. Furthermore, the Profile of Mood States questionnaire and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were employed for the assessment of the psychological responses and the level of trait anxiety, respectively, of the participants. Results showed that compared with viewing a city area, viewing forest areas increased positive mood state, such as vigor, and decreased negative mood states. Furthermore, trait anxiety level and changes in the psychological responses such as depression–dejection, fatigue, and confusion after viewing forest landscapes were significantly correlated. The participants with high anxiety levels had greater reduction in negative mood state, including confusion, than those with low anxiety levels. In conclusion, viewing forest landscapes induced psychological relaxation, which was more evident in individuals with high anxiety levels.

Anxiety is understood as a response to situations in which the source of threat for the individual is uncertain, ambiguous or objectively absent. Three factors seem to unleash the anxiety process: novelty, insecurity and expectation. People with dental fear often have poor oral health, being fear and anxiety the reasons for not visiting the dentist regularly. This circumstance hinders dental care and might even lead to preventing dental care for some individuals. The aim of this article is to correlate fear and anxiety in a sample of Chilean 7-to-10-year-old children and their parents/guardians. FIS and CFSS-DS correlation was not significant (r=0.1785; p=0.1065). No correlation was found between child anxiety level and caries experience: dmft/FIS (r=-0.0312; p= 0.7796), DMFT/FIS (r=-0.1632; p=0.1404). Likewise, no correlation was found between parental and child anxiety levels measured by FIS (r=0.0527; p=0.6074) nor CFSS-DS (r=-0.0498; p=0.6549). A significant correlation was found between parents’ schooling level and REALD-30 (r=0.3870; p=0.003), but none between the latter and M-DAS (r=0.0254; p=0.8198). Low correlation between these methods seems to be justified by the multidimensional character of anxiety, which presents physiological, cognitive and motor reactions that are manifested differently in each individual.

COVID-19 is the worst pandemic of this millennium, and it is considered to be the “public enemy number one.” This catastrophe has changed the way we live in the blink of an eye. Not only has it threatened our existence and health status, but the damage associated with it could equally affect our economic, social, and educational systems. The focus of this study was on the anxiety level of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted between March and June 2020. A questionnaire was administered online, and 400 completed questionnaires were returned. In this study, the Zung self-rating anxiety scale was used to determine the anxiety levels among the respondents. The results indicated that about 35% of the students experienced moderate to extreme levels of anxiety. Anxiety was highly associated with age, sex, and level of education. These findings can enlighten government agencies and policy makers on the importance of making prompt, effective decisions to address students' anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers are encouraged to focus their future studies on how to develop strategies to boost students' resilience and enhance their adaptability skills for similar disasters in the future.

The present investigation reports upon various aspects of incarceration within a jail setting. In the first study, variables that were associated with the occurrence of institutional misconducts were documented by comparing a group of inmates committing misconducts with inmates having no history of misconducts. A number of personal and demographic differences were observed between the groups, but no relationship between crowding and the occurrence of a misconduct was found. The second study investigated the effect of incarceration and sentencing upon the inmates' anxiety level. Sixty-one inmates formed four groups varying on two independent variables: pretest and sentence. Significant effects due to incarceration and sentencing were absent.
