Investigating the Relationship between Perceived Parental Academic Achievement Pressure, Academic Resilience, and Test Anxiety

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between perceived parental academic achievement pressure, academic resilience, and test anxiety. The sample of the study consisted of 315 10th grade students, 171 of whom were female and 144 of whom were male. The data were collected through personal information form, perceived parental academic achievement pressure scale, academic resilience scale, and multidimensional test anxiety scale. Independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of the analysis showed that perceived parental academic achievement pressure positively and significantly predicted test anxiety (β=.396, p<.05). However, the academic resilience variable was found to be a negative and significant predictor of test anxiety (β=-.148, p<.05). The results obtained were evaluated together with similar studies in the literature.
