Abstract

U ovome istraživanju proučavana je povezanost više potencijalnih izvora konstruktne irelevantnosti s učinkom na pisanim ispitima, s naglaskom na ispitnu anksioznost. Istraživanje je bilo korelacijskog tipa i provedeno je na prigodnom uzorku studenata psihologije (N=84) koji su pristupali ispitima iz statističko-psihometrijskih kolegija. Nije utvrđena povezanost ispitne anksioznosti kao crte ličnosti s uspjehom u testu dok je ispitna anksioznost kao stanje bila pozitivno povezana s uspjehom na testu. Utvrđena je umjerena povezanost kontekstualnih faktora specifičnih za ispitnu situaciju, poglavito motivacije i uloženog truda, zanimljivost područja i kontinuiranost rada, s uspjehom na testu. Utvrđena je umjerena povezanost karakteristika ličnosti, prvenstveno pozitivnog perfekcionizma, s uspjehom na testu. Utvrđena je umjerena povezanost ponašanja u situaciji rješavanja testa, poglavito upornosti u rješavanju testa, s uspjehom na testu. Također, utvrđena je povezanost ispitne anksioznosti kao crte ličnosti i stanja s kontekstualnim faktorima specifičnim za ispitnu situaciju, poglavito motivacijom, karakteristikama ličnosti, pozitivnim i negativnim perfekcionizmom, općim samopouzdanje, osjetljivosti na distraktore i neuroticizmom, i ponašanjima u situaciji rješavanja testa, poglavito učinkom vremenskog ograničenja na efikasnost u radu. Istraživanje pruža dodatne dokaze važnosti razumijevanja međuodnosa višestrukih izvora konstruktne irelevantnosti i razumijevanja šire slike konteksta u kojemu se ispitna situacija odvija pri proučavanja utjecaja konstruktne irelevantnosti na učinak u situaciji ispitivanja znanja.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, the relationship between multiple potential sources of construct irrelevance and test performance was examined, with emphasis on test anxiety. Our research had a correctional design and was carried out on psychology students (N=84) that were takings tests in statistic and psychometric courses. No correlation was found between trait test anxiety and performance, while state test anxiety correlated positively with test performance. A moderate correlation was found between contextual variables specific to the test situation, primarily motivation and effort, interest for the study field and continuity of work, and test performance. A moderate correlation was found between personality traits, primarily positive perfectionism, and test performance. A moderate correlation was found between behaviour in exam situations, primarily perseverance during exam situation, and test performance. Correlations were found between trait and state test anxiety and contextual variables specific to the test situation, primarily motivation and effort, personality traits, positive and negative perfectionism, general self-confidence, susceptibility to distractors and neuroticism, and behaviour in exam situations, primarily effect of time limitation on work efficiency. Taken as a whole, the paper supplies additional evidence for the importance of understanding the relationship between multiple sources of construct irrelevance and understanding the wider exam context when examining the effects of construct irrelevance in exam situations.
