Abstract

Test anxiety emerges as an important problem at every level of education. Social comparison, which is the tendency of people to compare themselves with others, is a frequently encountered situation especially in high school years, which is an important part of adolescence. Important stressors experienced by high school students, such as test anxiety, are evaluated through social comparison. A predictive correlational method was employed in this study, which aimed to investigate the test anxiety levels of high school students based on various factors in relation to their social comparison style. Using the convenience sampling method, data were gathered from a total of 284 high school students attending both private and public schools. 63% of the participants were female and 37% were male. The results showed that female students had higher emotionality and worry scores of test anxiety than male students. However, no gender-related difference was found in self-esteem scores. Additionally, it was found that the emotionality dimension of test anxiety scores was higher in the group with low social comparison levels compared to the group with high social comparison levels. In terms of parental attitudes, students with democratic parental attitudes were found to have lower test anxiety than students with authoritarian and protective parental attitudes. Another result of the study is that social comparison explains about 7% of the variance in test anxiety. The findings are interpreted in the context of the existing literature and suggestions are presented.

Özet

Sınav kaygısı, eğitimin her kademesinde önemli bir sorun olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. İnsanların kendilerini başkalarıyla kıyaslama eğilimi olan sosyal karşılaştırma, özellikle ergenlik döneminin önemli bir parçası olan lise yıllarında sıklıkla karşılaşılan bir durumdur. Sınav kaygısı gibi lise öğrencilerinin yaşadığı önemli stresörler sosyal karşılaştırma üzerinden değerlendirilmektedir. Lise öğrencilerinin sınav kaygısı düzeylerini sosyal karşılaştırma stilleri ile ilişkili olarak çeşitli faktörlere göre incelemeyi amaçlayan bu çalışmada yordayıcı korelasyonel bir yöntem kullanılmıştır. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak toplam 284 lise öğrencisinden veri toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların %63'ü kız, %37'si erkektir. Sonuçlar, kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre daha yüksek duygusallık ve endişe sınav kaygısı puanlarına sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ancak, benlik saygısı puanlarında cinsiyete bağlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca, sosyal karşılaştırma düzeyi düşük olan grupta sınav kaygısının duygusallık boyutunun sosyal karşılaştırma düzeyi yüksek olan gruba kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Ebeveyn tutumları açısından, demokratik ebeveyn tutumuna sahip öğrencilerin otoriter ve koruyucu ebeveyn tutumuna sahip öğrencilere göre daha düşük sınav kaygısına sahip oldukları bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın bir diğer sonucu da sosyal karşılaştırmanın sınav kaygısındaki varyansın yaklaşık %7'sini açıkladığıdır. Elde edilen bulgular mevcut literatür bağlamında yorumlanmış ve öneriler sunulmuştur.
