Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the factors of thesis writing anxiety among Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics students. There were three factors that the researchers used in this study, namely: Personal, Peer, and Thesis Mentor. Descriptive- correlational research was used in the study. The sampling technique utilized was purposive sampling, and the researchers set criteria for selecting respondents. The instrument used is a researchers' made questionnaire extracted from related studies. There were a total of 50 respondents who participated in this study. Findings revealed that the dominant factor is Personal, followed by Thesis Mentor and Peer. The leading causes of thesis writing anxiety are the students' fear of getting a poor grade and writing a thesis under time constraints. However, there was no significant difference found between male and female respondents. The respondents shared the same level of thesis writing anxiety.
