Abstract
This study aimed to assess the research anxiety of graduating psychology students. A total of 40 psychology graduating students participated in the study. This study utilized the Research Anxiety Rating Scale developed and score-validated by Onwuegbuzie (2013) which has seven factors (Fear of Libraries, Fear of Writing, Fear of Statistics, Fear of Conducting Research, Fear of the Research Language, Fear of the Research Course, and Perceived Utility and Competence). Results showed that there is a high fear across aforementioned factors and sex has nothing to do with the seven factors analyzed. Also, significant correlations were established with selected factors.
Keywords: Research anxiety level; Fear; Psychology graduating students; Research Anxiety Rating Scale.
