| Sumario: | Test anxiety is a disproportionate emotional response to an assessment in an academic context due to feelings of rejection, underachievement, fear, discomfort and worry about possible negative outcomes. The objective was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Test Anxiety Questionnaire (CAEX in Spanish) in Peruvian high school students aged between 11 and 17 years (M = 14.03, SD = 1.8). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed, and the results confirmed the factorial structure of the CAEX distributed in 4 factors. The goodness-of-fit indices were acceptable ( 2 = 2791.87, p = 0.000, CFI = 0.928, TLI = 0.925, RMSEA = 0.051, SRMR = 0.062) and showed that the CAEX presents discriminant validity (p > 0.05). It is concluded that the CAEX has adequate psychometric properties and is suitable for future research related to the mental health of high school students. |
