Özet

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive test anxiety and sociodemographic data, anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as the mediating role of the level of depression in the relationship between general anxiety and cognitive test anxiety among university students. Method: Data were collected from 171 volunteer Turkish university students. A sociodemographic information form, the Beck Depression Inventory, the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale were administered to the participants. Results: There was a statistically significant correlation between all scales used (p<0.01). Cognitive test anxiety was predicted by trait anxiety level and depressive symptom intensity (p<0.05), but it was not predicted by state anxiety level (p=0.114). In mediation analysis, depression was a mediator between trait anxiety and cognitive test anxiety (p<0.05). Conclusion: Results will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between different psychological variables such as anxiety and depression.
