| dc.description.abstract | The present study examined the impact of humor on test anxiety on a sample of Lebanese Middle School students (N= 75) in the 7th grade, between the ages of eleven and twelve, enrolled in a prestigious private school in the French Program. In addition, this study sought to investigate the effect of visual jokes as compared to those of written jokes in a Physics test. The study relied on self-report measures where participants were asked to fill the Westside Test Anxiety Scale before and after having solved their test in Physics. Results were calculated using analyses of variance. The results did not support the expected hypotheses as test anxiety was not specifically reduced by humor with these Middle School students; however, they all perceived humor in testing as favorable. | |
