Question
Come up with an operational definition of test anxiety. That is, if test anxiety was the dependent variable in a hypothetical research study, how would you measure it? The operational definition must meet the following criteria: 1) it is behavioral (therefore, self-report or physiological measures are not acceptable), 2) it is objectively measurable, and 3) it is quantifiable. Be as precise as possible, being careful to consider what it is you seek to measure and what it is you do not wish to measure.
Explanation / Answer
In order to measure test anxiety, the operational definition of test anxiety can be the scores that students receive on the Test Anxiety Questionnaire by Nist and Diehl (1990).
