Hypnosis versus systematic desensitization in the treatment of test anxiety.
Authors:Melnick, Joseph   Russell, Ronald W.
Abstract:
Assessed the comparative effectiveness of systematic desensitization (SD) and the directed experience hypnotic technique (HT) in reducing self-reported test anxiety and increasing the academic performance of 36 test-anxious undergraduates. Ss were assigned randomly to either the HT or SD conditions or to 1 of 2 control groups. All Ss had previously scored above the 50th percentile on Sarason's Test Anxiety Questionnaire (TAQ) and below the 85th percentile on a midterm exam. Results indicate that only the SD treatment significantly reduced TAQ scores. No significant improvement in academic performance was observed for either treatment. An additional analysis of high- vs moderate-anxious subgroups failed to show differential treatment effects on either dependent measure.
