ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The University of Arizona
Taking tests can trigger multiple emotions. To regulate emotions we might experience during test-taking situations, strategies such as reappraisal and suppression are often used. This study aimed to investigate if college students' cultural values affect their emotion regulation in test-taking situations. The sample included 298 college students. Three variables were assessed in this study: students' cultural values, students' test-taking emotions, and students' emotion regulation in test-taking situations. Canonical correlation analyses revealed that students with strong European American values tended to use more cognitive-appraisal and task-focusing strategies but less regaining task-focusing strategies during test-taking situations. This study could inspire future researchers to conduct more cross-cultural research on investigating the effect of culture on students' emotion regulation in test-taking situations.
