Abstract:Gjesme, T. 1981. The Factor Structure of Test Anxiety among Children with Different Characteristics. Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research 25,63‐98. A principal component analysis with oblique rotation of the Test Anxiety Scale for Children (TASC) revealed five cognitive/worry‐oriented factors and two emotional/somatic‐oriented factors. The results, based on 849 5th graders, of a sex of S X Future Time Orientation (FTO) x Achievement Motives X Ability X Perceived Intrinsic Instrumentality (Pil) analysis of variance, revealed a number of explainable interactions for each subdimen‐sion of TASC indicating that the Achievement Motives, FTO, and Ability were the most important factors, whereas the instrumentality (PiI) revealed itself at the higher order interactions. An increase in instrumentality seemed to accentuate the influence of motives and FTO on several subdimensions of TASC.
