Abstract

The predictive capacity of affect, through positive and negative affect, has been widely used in literature in recent years for its ability to discern between anxiety and depression. Therefore, it would be interesting to know the relationship between school anxiety and affect. Methodology: To this end, the present research aims to establish the relationship between school anxiety and the two dimensions of affect and the predictive capacity of school anxiety on both dimensions. A sample of 634 Spanish adolescents was used and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and the School Anxiety Inventory (SAI) were administered. Results: The Pearson coefficient identified negative and significant correlations between positive affect and school anxiety and opposite correlation with negative affect. The forward stepwise regression method identified that school anxiety positively predicted high negative affect scores and low positive affect scores. Discussions: The negative affect dimension continues to be related to maladaptive dimensions, such as school anxiety, whereas positive affect can correspond as a protector. Conclusions: The dimension of positive affect should be promoted and attempts should be made to identify and control high scores in negative affect.
