This book was released on 1977 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of experiments, high and low anxious academically deficient cadets at the Air Force Academy received a program in Anxiety Management (AM) training which utilized biofeedback techniques, or a more traditional Study Habits Development (SHD) program, or a combined AM/SHD program. All subjects receiving Anxiety Management training significantly reduced electromyograph (EMG) anxiety/tension level. High anxious subjects in the AM group showed significantly more academic improvement than a demand control group and high anxious subjects in the SHD group. Low anxious subjects showed significantly greater improvement after Study Habits training.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiety is a major predictor of students' academic performance. High anxiety level has negative effects on their academic performance. Previous research has reported that many university students faced anxieties while undergoing their studies but did not receive adequate intervention program to reduce their study anxiety. Researchers also reported that biofeedback training has been proven to significantly reduce anxiety among individuals. This study was designed to explore anxiety problems faced by university students, and it employs pre post design to compare between groups. It also incorporates biofeedback training in the intervention program in reducing study anxiety for the improvement of students' academic performance. The training group were exposed to ten sessions of training but no intervention was given to the non-training group. Data collection is through a random survey, and the results are used to identify the study anxiety sources among the students. A total 770 engineering students were involved in the survey, while 205 students sat for the correlation test, and 70 students participated in the biofeedback training. The quantitative analysis was used to find significant effect of the intervention program. Study anxiety as an independent variable was measured by physiological arousal and cognitive anxiety. The academic performance uses grade point average (GPA) as a dependent variable. From the survey, seven significant sources of study anxiety were found: examination anxiety (the major source), social anxiety, presentation anxiety, mathematics anxiety, language anxiety, family anxiety, and library anxiety. Using Pearson correlation, a significant correlation between high level anxiety and low academic performance was found, with a small coefficient correlation (r = -.264; p = .000). Results of repeated measure indicated significant differences across 4 sessions in physiological arousal among training group. Using Paired t-test revealed that the training group showed significant reduced on all physiological and cognitive measures while not significant on all measures for non training group. For academic performance, both groups show significant improvement, with p = .000 for the training group and p = .001 for the non-training group. However, as for academic improvement, the training group showed a 25% improvement compared to 7% improvement for the non-training group. Based on the self-evaluation results, the participants in the training group achieved the following positive effects from the training: feel more relaxed and calm, more confident, reduced heartbeat rates, improved breathing techniques, improved study skills, better time management, increased concentration, and improved overall well being. In conclusion, the biofeedback intervention program is definitely effective in helping students reduce their study anxiety in improving academic performance. In addition, the study supported the Catastrophe model to examine the effect of biofeedback intervention program in reducing anxiety for the improvement academic performance.

Download or read book Stress in Health and Disease written by Bengt B. Arnetz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-12-13 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to address the most urgent issues, combining a solid basic research approach with applied individual and stress issues, including interventions. Throughout, the focus is on our latest knowledge about various causes of stress and its neuro-cognitive and biological implications. World-renowned authors from Europe as well as the US describe how stress affects the brain of young people as well as adults. They cover the topic from all perspectives, showing how stress affects life in general, from the societal and organizational level to the individual, organ and molecular level. While the book clearly points out stress as a risk factor to health, it also offers a number of evidence-based methods to cope with stress and even ride the positive energy of stress - both as an individual, as well as what managers can do to create a healthy and productive workplace. Written in a reader-friendly and appealing style, the book provides real-life examples from various laboratories, as well as such events as the Volvo Ocean Race, the largest around-the-globe sailing competition. Essential reading for clinicians and biologists, as well as for a wide range of students, including medicine and public health, but also managers and HR staff. With a Foreword by Nobel Laureate Professor Arvid Carlsson (Medicine 2000).

Download or read book The Effects of Electromyographic Biofeedback on Test Anxiety and Performance written by Michael L. Reed and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The applicability of electromyographic biofeedback toward alleviating test taking anxiety was examined along with the effects of relaxation training on general anxiety, locus of control, test performance, and muscle tension during a test. The Achievement Anxiety Test (AAT) was administered to 271 freshman psychology students. Students whose scores indicated high levels of test anxiety were invited to participate in the study. Twenty-seven volunteers were randomly assigned to three groups. Biofeedback (B) subjects received verbal instructions and muscle tension (EMG) biofeedback. Instruction-control (IC) subjects received verbal relaxation instructions alone. A second control group (C) received no treatment. B and IC subjects received eight half-hour relaxation sessions spread over four weeks. Forehead EMG was monitored during each session. Several self-report measures were administered to all subjects before and after training. They included the AAT, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Rotter Locus of Control (I-E) Scale. Additionally, forehead muscle tension data were collected on all subjects while they completed an easy and a hard form of the Raven Progressive Matrices test (presented with ego-involving instructions). Equivalent forms of the tests were used pre and post, and the forms were counterbalanced across subjects. Analysis of the EMG data collected during relaxation training indicated that B and IC subjects significantly reduced forehead muscle tension but did not differ from each other. EMG biofeedback appears to add little to the effectiveness of brief relaxation instructions and practice. Analysis of anxiety measures indicated that B and IC subjects changed significantly pre to post while C subjects changed very little. No between -group differences were found on any of the measures. On the I-E scale, only IC subjects showed a significant shift toward being more internal, reflecting an increased belief in personal control. The effect of relaxation training on test performance and muscle tension during testing was evaluated with an analysis of variance. Within-group EMG and performance changes were nonsignificant, suggesting there was no generalization of training effects. In addition, EMGs did not differ between Easy and Hard tests, although performance scores indicated there were real differences in test difficulty. The effects of relaxation training in this study are clearly limited to the reduction of resting forehead muscle tension and self-report anxiety. No training effects were found on test performance or EMG during testing. These results are due either to the methodological limitations of a laboratory testing situation, or that forehead EMG is not as good a measure of anxiety as other researchers have suggested.
