This handbook presents an overview of research on test anxiety and
related forms of students' stress and anxiety at schools and other
academic environments, and also brings together a series of
psychological interventions to prevent and treat anxiety disorders
related to academic assessments. Its aim is to inform about
strategies that help promote more adaptive behaviors towards
academic assessment, as well as discuss other variables (e.g.,
bullying) that influence test anxiety, a typical stressor at the
school and academic environment. These stressors can impair the
students' socio-cognitive development, impairing their ability to
study and posing a risk to their mental health. The volume is
organized in three parts. The first part brings together chapters
discussing different variables and processes associated with
academic anxiety, such as test anxiety and social influence,
academic motivation, bullying, and procrastination. The second part
is completely dedicated to psychological interventions with
students designed to promote adaptive coping strategies to deal
with academic anxiety and to prevent the development of
psychopathologies associated with it. These interventions are based
on different approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy,
acceptance and commitment therapy, analytic behavioral therapy,
dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness, among others.
Finally, the third part presents strategies that teachers can adopt
to manage academic anxiety. The Handbook of Stress and Academic
Anxiety: Psychological Processes and Interventions with Students
and Teachers will be a valuable resource for school and clinical
psychologists, teachers, school managers and policy makers by
providing information based on the best scientific evidences to
help students cope with academic anxiety, prevent the development
of psychopathologies associated with it and promote mental health
at schools and other academic environments.
