The Test Anxiety Inventory for Children and Adolescents (TAICA) (2008, background): “With the continued increase in testing required in U.S. schools, the number of students with test anxiety is expected to rise (Wren & Benson, 2004).”
Math Performance and Academic Anxiety Forms, from Sociodemographic to Cognitive Aspects: a Meta-analysis on 906,311 Participants (2021, background): “In general, it can be stated that almost all students are challenged with some form of academic anxiety during their school years, and age may affect the experience and expression of this anxiety (Mammarella et al., 2019; Nyroos et al., 2015; Wren & Benson, 2004).”
Anxiety profiles and protective factors: A latent profile analysis in children (2018, background): “More recent measures have considered other features of TA too, such as specific autonomic bodily reactions of anxiety, social evaluation and cognitive interference (Benson, Moulin-Julian, Schwarzer, Seipp, & El-Zahhar, 1992; Lowe, Grumbein, & Raad, 2011; Wren & Benson, 2004).”
Deconstructing test anxiety (2008, methodology): “1992 ), a state sensitised version of the Test Anxiety Inventory (Hong 1999 ) and the Children's Test Anxiety Scale (Wren and Benson 2004 ) have been designed, in part, by refining and revising items drawn from earlier scales.”
Cognitive and Emotional Math Problems Largely Dissociate: Prevalence of Developmental Dyscalculia and Mathematics Anxiety (2017, background): “…important to note that female students are also more likely to report higher levels of both TA and GA than do male (Hembree, 1988; Vesga-Lopez et al., 2008; Wren & Benson, 2004); thus, it is possible that female students’ general propensity for anxiety may contribute to their higher levels of MA.”
Is the relationship between competence beliefs and test anxiety influenced by goal orientation (2010, methodology): “The 30-item Children's Test Anxiety Scale produced a reasonable model fit comparable to that reported by Wren and Benson (2004) who also suggest an alternative 25-item version with an improved model fit.”
Psychometric properties of the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) in Italian primary school children (2017, unknown): “Some researchers developed non-standardized ad-hoc questionnaires (Thomas & Dowker, 2000; Wren & Benson, 2004; Wu et al., 2012).”
HEIGHTENED TEST ANXIETY AMONG YOUNG CHILDREN: ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ANXIOUS RESPONSES TO HIGH-STAKES TESTING (2013, methodology): “The first scale was the Children’s Test Anxiety Scale (CTAS), a 30-item self-report scale designed to measure test anxiety in children in Grades 3 through 6 (Wren & Benson, 2004).”
