Table 2.
Emotional Stroop results on the HTA and LTA group: (1) reaction times (RTs, in ms) of test-related threatening words, neutral words, and test-related threatening interference, and (2) accuracy (in %) of test-related threatening and neutral words (M ± SD).
| Condition | RT | Accuracy | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HTA (N = 26) | LTA (N = 20) | HTA (N = 26) | LTA (N = 20) | |
| Test-related threatening | 502.78 ± 95.13*** | 453.90 ± 78.47 | 99.88 ± 1.45** | 98.35 ± 1.63 |
| Neutral | 480.84 ± 89.91 | 452.25 ± 79.58 | 97.88 ± 2.17 | 99.25 ± 0.96* |
| Interference | 21.94 ± 38.77 | 1.64 ± 21.14 | ||
*p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
HTA, high test-anxious; LTA, low test-anxious; Interference: the RT as observed in the test-related threatening condition minus the RT as observed in the neutral condition.
