ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is to explore how test anxiety and spiritual traits interrelate in college students of adult age group. The total number of participants was 200; half were men and the other half were women. The analysis used in the research was correlation to examine how test anxiety levels are linked with spiritual traits. Furthermore, an independent t test was conducted to see if there were any differences in test anxiety levels based on gender, among the participants. Research results indicated a connection in the opposite direction between test anxiety and spiritual characteristics; implying that individuals, with greater spiritual traits usually experienced lower levels of test anxiety. Furthermore, in the analysis using a t test no notable gender variations were observed in test anxiety implying that it impacts both male and female students equally regardless of their spiritual attributes. The findings highlight the importance of integrating well-being into treatments aimed at reducing academic pressure and underscore the potential role of spiritual beliefs in alleviating test anxiety among university students. It is recommended that further studies investigate the underlying mechanisms and impacts of engaging in practices on psychological well-being and academic success, across different population groups.
