The Relationship between Negative Beliefs about the Uncontrollability and Danger of Worry and Test Anxiety: The Mediating Role of Experiential Avoidance

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to shed light on the specific mechanism through which negative beliefs about the uncontrollability and danger of worry influence test anxiety. Based on previous studies and the Self-Regulatory Executive Function model of emotional disorder (Wells and Matthews, 1994, 1996), partial and full mediation models in which experiential avoidance would mediate the relationship between negative beliefs about the uncontrollability and danger of worry and test anxiety were proposed. In order to evaluate and compare the two mediation models and the alternative models, simple effects model and symptom model, structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used in a sample of 405 undergraduate students. SEM revealed that both partial and full mediation models fit the data well, and the former was superior to the latter. In contrast, neither the simple effects model nor the symptom model was supported. The direct effect of negative beliefs about the uncontrollability and danger of worry seemed somewhat stronger than its indirect effect through mediation of experiential avoidance on test anxiety in the partial mediation model. These results provide the first empirical evidence of the mediating role of experiential avoidance in explaining the relationship between negative beliefs about the uncontrollability and danger of worry and test anxiety in young adulthood. Results are discussed in terms of the need to consider experiential avoidance in understanding and preventing or treating test anxiety experienced by young adults with strong negative beliefs about the uncontrollability and danger of worry.
