Description

The present study investigated performance anxiety and sleep problems as predictors of academic achievement among a convenience sample of 100 university students (Male = 43, Female = 57). Method: The participants, aged 18 to 25 years, were selected from three different departments of University of Gujrat. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (Hamilton, 1959) and Pre Sleep Arousal Scale (Nicassio, Mendlowitz, Fussell, & Petras, 1989) were individually administered to the participants in their respective departments. Academic achievement was measured in terms of GPA of previous semester of each respondent. Results: The Cronbach Alphas for both the scales for the present sample fell in acceptable range (α = 0 .84 - 0.87). Linear regression analyses indicated that performance anxiety significantly predicted (p <.01, p<.001) of low academic achievement among university students. It was also identified that the higher level of performance anxiety was also a strong predictor (p < .0.001) of sleep problems among students. Conclusions: Discussion includes implications for future research and practices with reference to Pakistani culture.

بحثت الدراسة الحالية في مشاكل قلق الأداء والنوم كمؤشرات للإنجاز الأكاديمي بين عينة ملائمة من 100 طالب جامعي (الذكور = 43، الإناث = 57). الطريقة: تم اختيار المشاركين، الذين تتراوح أعمارهم بين 18 و 25 عامًا، من ثلاثة أقسام مختلفة في جامعة جوجرات. تم إعطاء مقياس هاميلتون للقلق (هاميلتون، 1959) ومقياس الإثارة قبل النوم (Nicassio، Mendlowitz، Fussell، & Petras، 1989) بشكل فردي للمشاركين في أقسامهم الخاصة. تم قياس التحصيل الدراسي من حيث المعدل التراكمي للفصل الدراسي السابق لكل مجيب. النتائج: وقع مقياس كرونباخ ألفا لكلا المقياسين للعينة الحالية في النطاق المقبول (α = 0.84 - 0.87). أشارت تحليلات الانحدار الخطي إلى أن قلق الأداء كان متوقعًا بشكل كبير (p <.01، p<.001) من انخفاض التحصيل الأكاديمي بين طلاب الجامعات. كما تم تحديد أن المستوى الأعلى من قلق الأداء كان أيضًا مؤشرًا قويًا (p < .0.001) لمشاكل النوم بين الطلاب. الاستنتاجات: تشمل المناقشة الآثار المترتبة على البحوث والممارسات المستقبلية فيما يتعلق بالثقافة الباكستانية.

Résultats : The Cronbach Alphas for both the scales for the present sample fell in acceptable range (α = 0,84 - 0,87). Les analyses de régression linéaire indiquent que l'anxiété de performance est significativement prédite (p <.01, p<.001) par les étudiants de l'université à faible niveau académique. It was also identified that the higher level of performance anxiety was also a strong predictor (p < .0.001) of sleep problems among students. Conclusions : Discussion includes implications for future research and practices with reference to Pakistani culture.

Hamilton Anxiety Scale (Hamilton, 1959) y Pre Sleep Arousal Scale (Nicassio, Mendlowitz, Fussell, & Petras, 1989) fueron administrados individualmente a los participantes en sus respectivos departamentos. El logro académico se mide en términos de GPA de un semestre previo de cada respuesta.

Linear regresion analyses indicated that performance anxiety significantly predicted (p <.01, p<.001) of low academic achievement among university students. It also identified that the higher level of performance anxiety was also a strong predictor (p < .0.001) of sleep problems among students. Conclusiones: Discusión incluye implicaciones para futuras investigaciones y prácticas con referencia a la cultura paquistaní.
