An automated program for the reduction of test anxiety in a computer-based learning situation has been developed. Its main components are: 1) a self-study manual containing information and written exercises dealing with coping with test anxiety; 2) a videotape of modeled effective and ineffective coping with anxiety on tests; 3) a brief, modified systematic desensitization procedure; and 4) a session of practicing coping with anxiety in a computer-guided testing situation. The objective was to provide an inexpensive service for test-anxious students. Preliminary investigation of the program's effectiveness in the context of a sequence of computer-managed instructional modules found a highly significant reduction in self-reported test anxiety as compared with a no-contact control group of highly test-anxious students. Slight indications of improved performance on the modules for the treatment groups were also noted. Future research will be directed at overcoming difficulties in detecting improved performance following reduction of test anxiety and toward eliminating the relaxation and desensitization component of the program in favor of increased emphasis upon practicing test-taking and anxiety management skills.
