  • Title: Effects of rational-emotive therapy on psychophysiological and reported measures of test anxiety arousal.
    Author: Barabasz AF, Barabasz M.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 1981 Jul; 37(3):511-4. PubMed ID: 7263877.
    Abstract:
    Developed audio taped lectures, taped therapy session models, and homework assignments designed to reduce irrational beliefs associated with test anxiety within Ellis' rational-emotive therapy (RET) approach. The initial sample consisted of 148 university students. Comparisons with an attention placebo counseling program, which was established to be equally credible by a post-experiment inquiry and a no-treatment group found the RET Ss to show significantly lower skin conductance responses to a test anxiety visualization and lower reported anxiety on a questionnaire. However, skin conductance responses to an alternative test anxiety visualization did not show treatment effects.
