Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between scores on Daly and Miller's (1975a) Writing Apprehension Test and on seven dimensions of Neemann and Harter's (1986) Self-perception Profile for College Students. Participants were 97 students (81 women and 16 men) from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds enrolled in graduate courses in research methodology. Analysis indicated that students with the lowest perceived scholastic competence and perceived creativity tended to have the highest anxiety about writing. Recommendations for research include replication.
