WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Emotional tension in the educational process Test

Emotional Strain in the Educational Process Test

academic anxiety

This measure is intended to assess subjective emotional strain experienced in academic settings. Emotional Strain in the Educational Process is administered as a self-report questionnaire to help characterize perceived internal tension and its potential impact on learning-related functioning.

The instrument includes 30 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Items query common reactions to educational demands, including perceived pressure, anxiety-related responses, and the extent to which emotional strain may interfere with self-regulation, motivation, and day-to-day academic behavior. Results are generally interpreted as an index of perceived strain severity, to inform clinical impressions or educational support planning; it is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool.

When documenting use, note the specific version and scoring approach applied, as wording and norms may vary across adaptations. Emotional Strain in the Educational Process is sometimes cited in association with Christina Maslach and Susan E. Jackson.
