Participants responded to the CTAS-2, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and FRIEDBEN Test Anxiety Scale. Using both latent class and cluster analyses, we were able to classify participants as belonging to one of the three distinct cognitive test anxiety profiles\u2014low, moderate, and high. Comparison of the identified test anxiety profiles allowed us to generate a set of severity standards for the CTAS-2 that can be used to differentiate between individuals with differing levels of cognitive test anxiety. The validity of the severity standards was established through group comparisons of test-anxious students on the MSLQ\u2013Text Anxiety, FRIEDBEN\u2013Cognitive Obstruction, FRIEDBEN\u2013Social Derogation, and FRIEDBEN\u2013Physiological Tenseness scales. Discussion concerns the practical implications of establishing CTAS-2 severity standards for educators, student support staff, and learners.<\/p>\n<p>Link to Article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/312175357_Identifying_Severity_Standards_on_the_Cognitive_Test_Anxiety_Scale_Cut_Score_Determination_Using_Latent_Class_and_Cluster_Analysis\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/312175357_Identifying_Severity_Standards_on_the_Cognitive_Test_Anxiety_Scale_Cut_Score_Determination_Using_Latent_Class_and_Cluster_Analysis<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The purpose of the current examination was to preliminarily suggest severity standards for the recently revised Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale\u2013Second Edition (CTAS-2).
