Details:

Multidimensional Anxiety Theory, Zone of Optimal Function, Catastrophe Model of Anxiety and Performance, Processing Efficiency Theory, and Reversal Theory are some of the theories and models currently used to describe the relationship between anxiety and performance. However, the influence of emotions on anxiety and performance needs to be analyzed further. In this assignment, you will explore the anxiety/emotion/performance relationship in order to write a paper that provides a theoretical perspective on the topic.

Directions:

Write an essay (1,250-1,500 words) in which you describe the theoretical perspective of the anxiety/emotion/performance relationship. Include the following in your paper:

A review of the current empirical research regarding the anxiety/emotion/performance relationship.
