Bu araştırmada üniversite öğrencilerinin sınav
kaygısını azaltmada mandala boyamanın etkisi araştırılmak istenmiştir. Kaygı
düzeyi yüksek öğrencileri belirlemek amacıyla Spielberger Sınav Kaygısı
Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Spielberger Sınav Kaygısı Envanteri sonuçları dikkate
alınarak kaygı düzeyi en yüksek 20 öğrenci deney ve kontrol grubuna
seçilmişlerdir. Beş hafta boyunca, haftada bir saat deney grubu mandala
boyarken kontrol grubu sadece rahatlatıcı müzik dinlemiştir. Beş haftanın
sonunda kaygı düzeylerindeki değişimi ölçmek için Spielberger Sınav Kaygısı
Envanteri tekrar uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonunda hem müzik dinlemenin hem
de mandala boyamanın kaygı düzeyini azaltmada etkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Ancak
beklenilenin aksine kaygıyı azaltmada müzik dinlemenin mandala boyamaya göre
etkisinin daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur.

Effects of Coloring Mandalas on Test Anxiety

Öz

The aim of this
study is to examine the effect of the coloring mandalas on reducing test
anxiety of university students. To determine participants among university
student, the Spielberger test anxiety inventory was applied. According to the
results of the inventory, the participants were randomly assigned to the test
group and the control group. While control group listened to calming music, the
test group colored different types of pre-shaped mandalas. To determine the
effect of coloring mandalas on reducing anxiety, the Spielberger test anxiety
inventory (TAI) was reapplied at the end of the 5th week. The mean score of the
TAI significantly decreased between the pre-test and the pro-test in the both
groups (the test group and the control group). Suprisingly the mean score of
the TAI of the control group was significantly lower than the test group. The
findings show that coloring mandalas can significantly reduce the level of
anxiety, however it is less effective than listening music.
