Abstract

The theory that anxiety is an important factor in the school performance of individuals, particularly children, has received increased attention in recent years. The noted psychologist Jersild called attention to the problems:

Fear exists so generally in contemporary life that our time has been called the “age of anxiety.” The present age is probably no more fear-ridden than earlier periods in history; instead, we perhaps recognize the inroads of fear more clearly and acknowledge them more openly than we did in the past.

Sarason and his associates conducted research for several years concerning themselves with the problem of the “relationships and discrepancies between performance and potential.”
