The Use of Biofeedback in Anxiety Management Training and its Effect on Scholastic Performance.

Abstract

In a series of experiments, high and low anxious academically deficient cadets at the Air Force Academy received a program in Anxiety Management (AM) training which utilized biofeedback techniques, or a more traditional Study Habits Development (SHD) program, or a combined AM/SHD program. All subjects receiving Anxiety Management training significantly reduced electromyograph (EMG) anxiety/tension level. High anxious subjects in the AM group showed significantly more academic improvement than a demand control group and high anxious subjects in the SHD group. Low anxious subjects showed significantly greater improvement after Study Habits training.
