Poster Session VII - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: Studying and Learning

Abstract: This classroom-based experiment examines the impact of expressive writing on mathematics anxiety across multiple exams in college. By combining anxiety measures, exam performance, and text analysis, we investigate how emotional processing through writing affects anxiety, working memory, and achievement both immediately and cumulatively, offering new insights for anxiety-reducing interventions.
