考试焦虑个体抑制控制功能的研究进展
Research Process of Inhibitory Control Function in Individuals with Test Anxiety
摘要: 在评估情境中，考试焦虑个体通常会表现出广泛的担忧思维和紧张情绪，这会导致注意力资源无法有效分配到当前的认知任务中去，从而使得他们的抑制控制功能受损。义务教育阶段下，学生的考试焦虑情绪愈发明显。探究和讨论考试焦虑对个体抑制控制功能影响的心理机制和相关影响因素，不仅对于深化理解考试焦虑具有重要意义，同时可以为未来在教育情境中的识别和干预提供指导。本文围绕考试焦虑个体的抑制控制功能这一主题，主要从心理机制、理论基础及局限性进行梳理和讨论。
Abstract: In the assessment context, individuals with test anxiety usually show a wide range of worrying thoughts and nervous emotions, which leads to the inability to allocate attention resources effectively to the current cognitive task. Thus their inhibitory control function is impaired. In the stage of compulsory education, students’ test anxiety becomes more and more obvious. Exploring and discussing the psychological mechanism and related influencing factors of the influence of test anxiety on individual inhibitory control function is not only of great significance for deepening the understanding of test anxiety, but also can provide guidance for future identification and intervention in educational contexts. This paper focuses on the subject of inhibition and control function of test anxiety individuals, mainly from the psychological mechanism, theoretical basis and limitations of the discussion.
