| Publisher Description: This book focuses on causes, manifestations, correlates and treatment of test anxiety and academic procrastination. It includes two treatment programs that can easily be implemented by counselors and psychotherapists working with test-anxious and procrastinating students. One of these programs is a cognitive behavioral therapy program for test anxiety, which offers techniques for disputing anxiety-producing thoughts and teaching students to use positive self-talk and to attend fully to the task at hand. The other program focuses on teaching students study skills such as SQ3R method of studying, time management, note-taking, test preparation and test taking techniques. The first program was found to be more effective for test anxious students, while the second was effective for both test-anxious and procrastinating students. |
