Description
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a program specifically designed to address anxiety related to the practical driving test. A total of seventy candidates from a driving school course were selected from a larger group of 250 students based on their high test anxiety scores. These participants were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group, which received training from a traffic psychologist, and the control group, which received additional driving lessons and a session to discuss test-related concerns with a guide instructor. The State Anxiety Scale (STAI) was used to measure anxiety levels three times: before the training/alternative treatment, immediately after, and before the driving test. The results showed that the experimental group exhibited significantly lower anxiety levels after the training and before the driving test when compared to the control group. The study's results will provide insights into the program's efficacy in reducing anxiety related to the practical driving test.
