Can a straight-A student have a high level of school anxiety?
Yes, often "successful" students exhibit the highest levels of anxiety. This is due to the fear of not meeting adults' expectations or losing their status as the best in class. In the Phillips test, this is often reflected in the "fear of knowledge testing situations" factor.
What is "Sunday anxiety" and how does it manifest in the test?
This is a sharp decline in mood and an increase in fear as the school week approaches. In the test, it correlates with the "general school anxiety" factor. A child may become irritable, have trouble sleeping on Sunday night, or constantly ask about the days until the next break.
Can changing schools completely solve the problem of high anxiety?
Only if the cause lies in external factors like bullying or conflict with a teacher. If the anxiety is linked to the child's internal perfectionism, the patterns may repeat in a new school. The test helps determine whether the factor is external or internal.
