Information seeking anxiety is a type of anxiety that affects academic performance. The present study was aimed at investigating the relationship between learning styles and information seeking anxiety in relation to the academic achievement of students. This was a descriptive-analytic research, and the study population consisted of students who had passed at least one semester in Behbahan University, Iran. The sample size was calculated 181 from the Morgan table. The results of this study showed that most of the students used the ‘assimilating' learning style. It was concluded that there was no significant difference between anxiety levels and the field of study. Also, there was no relationship between learning styles and age and gender. Moreover, there was no relationship of gender, academic semester, and age with academic achievement. Even though, there was no relationship between information seeking anxiety and learning styles vis a vis academic achievement, the assimilating learning style was preferred by the majority of the students. The comparison of learning styles with information seeking anxiety was a distinctive feature of this study, indicating that different aspects of learning did not have much effect on the anxiety levels of individuals, which could be the basis for further research on personality dimensions such as self-concept and intrinsic motivation in relation to information seeking anxiety and academic achievement.

Learning styles indicate a students’ preference for learning methods and therefore are necessary information to guide teachers’ instruction. This study is aimed to determine the relationship between learning styles and academic achievement of Form Three students in their Living Integrated Skills subject. This study was participated by 372 respondents selected using purposive sampling from six secondary schools in Sabah, Malaysia. Data was collected using a research questionnaire in survey research and analyzed with IBM SPSS 23.0 using both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Findings of the study showed that pragmatist and theorist learning styles are the dominant learning styles while activist is the least preferred learning style. It was found that learning styles i.e. activist (t = -0.412; p = 0.681), reflective (t = -1.457; p = 0.146), theorist (t = 0.890; p = 0.374) and pragmatist (t = -0.537; p = 0.592) did not differ significantly based on gender but learning styles i.e activist (t = 7.412, p = 0.000), reflective (t = 9.461, p = 0.000), theorist (t = 9.080, p = 0.000) and pragmatist (t = 8.615, p = 0.000) was significantly different between high and low academic achievers. The higher achievers were pragmatic and activist while the lower achievers were reflective and theorists. This study also showed that learning styles i.e. activist (r = 0.395, p = 0.000), reflective (r = 0.476, p = 0.000), theorist (r = 0.492, p = 0.000) and pragmatist (r = 0.471, p = 0.000) were significantly correlated with academic achievement. Theorist learning style has the strongest correlation with academic achievement followed by reflective and pragmatist and the weakest learning style is activist. This study implied that other factors like a classroom environment, instructional delivery, and students’ self-efficacy should be investigated in future studies to explain the academic achievement of the students. This study supported the notion that learning styles are important to facilitate teachers in planning and implementing the lesson and for students to develop meta-cognitive ability to learn with the best style suited to them.
