An attempt to relate test anxiety and Palmar Sweat Index

The corrosion of metal by palmar sweat.

The problem of metal corrosion resulting from contamination by palmar sweat is common to many industrial occupations. Constant handling of metal parts by some individuals causes an accumulation of rust (Fig. 1). In the manufacture of highlyfinished metal products, for example ball-bearings, and also in subsequent assembling and packing processes, serious consideration must be given to this effe...

Test Anxiety 1 Running head: TEST ANXIETY A Confirmatory Factor Analysis Approach to Test Anxiety

This paper addresses the role of test anxiety in aptitude testing. Our approach is rooted in confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). We find that the usual parameter constraints used for model identification in CFA have non-trivial implications for the effects of interest. We suggest two methods for dealing with this identification problem. Firstly, we consider testable parameter constraints that i...
