Previous findings reported various relationships between anxiety, attention, self-esteem and performance, as well as support of ACT (e.g. see Fales et al, 2008; Derryberry, 2002; Yoshie et al, 2009; Dandeneau & Baldwin, 2009; Wilson, Vine & Wood, 2009 for review). Self-report measures of attention, control, self-esteem and anxiety were used to compare results from sample groups. Consistent with variety of previous findings, anxiety was highly correlated with attention subscales, as well as with negative self-esteem. ANOVA Sheffe and detailed regression analysis demonstrated peculiarities of each group involved. While aviation students reported significant relationships between trait anxiety and attention subscales and negative self-esteem, music students reported significant relationships between same subscales and state anxiety.enattentional control theorymusic studentsaviation studentsärevustähelepanuenesehinnangüliõpilasedmagistritöödThesis
