چکیده
پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی نقش باورهای فراشناخت و راهبردهای کنترل فکر در علائم اضطراب امتحان دانش آموزان صورت گرفت.در قالب یک طرح همبستگی، با استفاده از روش نمونه گیری خوشه ای چند مرحله ای از میان دانش آموزان دبیرستانی شهرستان های استهبان و شیراز در سال تحصیلی 93 – 94، تعداد 401 نفر( دختر و پسر)، انتخاب شدند و پرسشنامه های اضطراب امتحان، باورهای فراشناخت و کنترل فکر را تکمیل نمودند. تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها با استفاده از ضریب همبستگی پیرسون و تحلیل رگرسیون چند متغیری به شیوه ی گام به گام انجام شد. ضرایب همبستگی پیرسون نشان داد که مؤلفه های فراشناختی باورهای مثبت درباره ی نگرانی، کنترل ناپذیری و خطر و اطمینان شناختی با علائم اضطراب امتحان دانش آموزان رابطه ی مثبت دارند. همچنین از میان راهبردهای کنترل فکر نیز نگرانی، کنترل اجتماعی و تنبیه با علائم اضطراب امتحان دانش آموزان رابطه مثبت دارند اما توجه برگردانی رابطه منفی دارد. نتایج تحلیل رگرسیون چند متغیری گام به گام ترکیب متغیرها نیز نشان داد که به ترتیب کنترل ناپذیری و خطر، اطمینان شناختی، تنبیه و نیاز به کنترل افکار علائم اضطراب امتحان دانش آموزان را پیش بینی می کنند.از یافته های این پژوهش استنباط می شود که یکی از عوامل مهم در بروز اضطراب امتحان در دانش آموزان باورهای فراشناخت و شیوه های مقابله با آنها می باشد. بنابراین در برنامه های پیشگیری یا درمان اضطراب امتحان باید توجه خاصی به باورهای فراشناخت و نحوه ی مقابله ی دانش آموزان شود.

The aim of present study was to investigation the role of metacognitive beliefs and thought control strategies in test anxiety symptoms of students. In a frame of correlation design, using multi-stage cluster sampling among high school students of Estahban and Shiraz in the 93-94 academic year, 401 students (male and female) were selected and completed test anxiety inventory (TAI), metacognitive questionnaire (MCQ-30) and thought control questionnaire (TCQ). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Pearson correlation coefficient showed that the cognitive components of positive beliefs about worry, uncontrollability, danger and cognitive confidence had a positive relationship with test anxiety symptoms of students. Also, among thought control strategies, worry, social control and punishment had a positive relationship with test anxiety symptoms of student, but attention diversion had a negative relationship. The results of stepwise multiple regression analysis of variables combination showed that uncontrollability and danger, cognitive confidence, punishment and need to thoughts control predict test anxiety symptoms of students, respectively. The results of this study suggests that one of important factors in incidence of test anxiety in students is metacognitive beliefs and copying strategies about them. Therefore, it is recommended that pay particular attention to metacognitive beliefs and copying strategies in the prevention programs or treatment of test anxiety.
