Individuals with dysfunctional career thoughts, low achievement
motivation and high test anxiety are related by characteristics having
logical similarities, indicating that perhaps they are distinct but
related constructs. However, due to the limited use of the term
dysfunctional career thoughts in psychological literature, (more
particularly in India), the evidence regarding the correlation among
these variables is lacking. In an attempt to study the relation between
these three variables, 160 students (Girls=80; Boys =80) of Himachal
Pradesh University were approached. Since it is empirically,
demonstrated that the two components of test anxiety, worry (the
cognitive component) and emotionality (the affective component)
show different and specific relationship with performance (Stober,
2004). In the present study information on both these components
was also collected along with total test anxiety scores. Findings of
the present research shows, emotionality component of test anxiety
has emerged as most important variable for present sample, showing
positive and significant relationship with dysfunctional career
thoughts and negative and significant relationship with achievement
motivation.
