| Summary: | This study aimed to identify the relationship between anxiety and verbal working memory
performance based on the total number of correct items recalled and the total time taken. A
quasi-experimental design was employed in this study. The study was conducted with 30
undergraduate participants from University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Participants were
administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, adopted from Spielberger (1983), to measure
their state and trait anxiety. The participant answered the Reading Span task adapted from
Daneman and Carpenter (1980). The correlation between anxiety and verbal working memory
performance was then analysed using Spearman Correlation. The findings reveal that there was
no significant relationship between anxiety and verbal working memory performance for the
total number of correct items recalled and the total time taken, which is contrary to the
prominent finding that supports anxiety has a negative relationship with verbal working
memory performance. |
