Abstract

The phenomenon of study anxiety travels across geographic and cultural boundaries. Study anxiety is being affected by both emotional and cognitive factors. Though there has been an increasing amount of research conducted on study anxiety in adolescence, little is known about the relation of study anxiety, academic achievement and parent child relation among school children. The present study was aimed at exploring the relation between study anxiety, academic achievement and parent-child relation of school children. For this purpose, an indigenous tool Study Anxiety Scale, Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension Scales of GCU battery and Parent-Child Relationship Scale was administered on the sample of 419 school children; 201 boys; and 218 girls from 6 Government Schools of Lahore, Pakistan. The results suggest that perceived rejection and distant in parent-child relation cause higher study anxiety and lower academic achievement among school children. Results also depicted that the girls are higher in both study anxiety and academic achievement than boys and boys perceived more parental rejection than girls. Results are discussed in a cultural context proposing a model showing possible links between different environmental influences and study anxiety.
