Originally published in 1982, the purpose of this volume Achievement, Stress and Anxiety was to describe recent advances in achievement-related stress and anxiety research. The notion of achievement is broadly conceived and encompasses all activities in which individuals know that their performance is being evaluated (by themselves or by others). The volume is divided into five parts. Part I is concerned with theoretical and methodological issues. Part II investigates strategies of coping with stress. Part III deals with anxiety as the central emotion elicited in achievement situations. Part IV considers contributions from the areas of achievement motivation and attribution theory. Part V is concerned with recent developments of special methods and techniques in stress and anxiety research. Today it can be read in its historical context.
