Three objectives, research questions, and hypotheses were developed to assess changes in the emotional, cognitive, and physical components of examination anxiety. A quasi-experimental design with purposive random sampling selected two schools. Examination Anxiety Inventory (Berger) measured outcomes, with reliability reported as Cronbach Alpha 0.85. Descriptive results showed reduced anxiety scores from pre-test to post-test across emotional, cognitive, and physical components, while paired t-test indicated significant effects for emotional and cognitive components (p=0.01) but not for the physical component (p=0.12).",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/effect-of-systematic-desensitization-on-examination-anxiety-among-junior-secondary-school-students-in-zaria-metropolis-a-thesis-submitted/329263/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/effect-of-systematic-desensitization-on-examination-anxiety-among-junior-secondary-school-students-in-zaria-metropolis-a-thesis-submitted/329263.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Grenda","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What variable did the study focus on changing?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The study focused on how systematic desensitization affects examination anxiety among junior secondary school students.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Which components of examination anxiety were measured?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The study measured emotional, cognitive, and physical components of examination anxiety.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What did the statistical tests show about the physical component?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The paired t-test result for the physical component was p=0.12, indicating the reduction was not statistically significant.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},329263,1790531018,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":34,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145,"preview_page_count":4},7971474921005,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_29158cc5080c5b710cf443261637dec0","EFFECT OF SYSTEMATIC DESENSITIZATION ON EXAMINATION ANXIETY AMONG JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ZARIA METROPOLIS, KADUNA STATE, NIGERIA  \nBY  \nMaryann Ujunwa IGARA  \nB.
