STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING ANALYSIS OF MEDIATOR ROLE OF FEAR OF NEGATIVE EVALUATION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE ANXIETY
Öz
In this research main goal is to show the mediator role of the fear of negative evaluation in student’s sense of self-efficacy in the effect of foreign language anxiety. For this purpose structural equation modeling was performed. Goodness of fit index of the model which is X2/df=1.665; RMSEA= 0.08; SRMR=0.08 identified within acceptable limits. Fear of negative evaluation according to the structural equation model has been observed to have a mediator effect on foreign language anxiety. As a result of the model, it has been concluded that self- efficacy affects fear of negative evaluation negatively (β=-0.79); fear of negative evaluation affects foreign language anxiety positively (β=0.50), and achievement affects foreign language anxiety negatively (β=-0.25). However, it has been concluded that self- efficacy affects foreign language anxiety indirectly in a negative direction (β=-0.33). In this study among factors affecting foreign language anxieties of students, the fear of negative evaluation and self-efficacy have been found to have important effects.
