Abstract

Previous studies stated that the association between test anxiety and different coping strategies is varied, but research on Chinese international students in the UK in such relevant fields is insufficient. A total of 82 participants (n=65 females, n=17 males, mean age ranges 22 to 29) were included, the Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale-Revised, the COPE Inventory and the anxiety subscale of the 21-item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale were used. Results revealed that (1) Cognitive test anxiety was moderate in the target population. (2) Cognitive test anxiety was an important predictor of anxiety; (3) Social-focused coping was a positive predictor for cognitive test anxiety;(4) The target population engage more in problem-focused coping when facing stress; (5) there was no gender differences in CTA and coping strategies.
