Summary
The root of the word anxiety is coming from ancient Greek "anxsietas", it means worry, fear, curiosity. It is a universal feeling and experience one goes through in certain states of his life. Anxiety is defined by the experts as the fear or unsettling feeling one experience in a wake of a threatening event. State anxiety derives from a time when one views or interprets a situation as threatening and dangerous. This situation results in an unsettling, unwanted state. The reactions to a state anxiety is listed as negative feelings such as; excitement, wakefulness, fear, misgiving, confusion, lack of self-confidence. When faced with a situation that is threatening to one's self-confidence, people with higher trait anxiety levels compared to people with lower ones show much more trait anxiety reactions [12, 22, 15]
