Influence of Problem-Solving Skills in Accounting on Academic Anxiety Among Higher Secondary Commerce Students
Abstract
This research investigated the influence of problem-solving skills in accounting on academic anxiety among higher secondary commerce students in Kerala. Education in commerce, particularly accounting, demands robust problem-solving abilities such as logical reasoning, numerical accuracy, and the capacity to analyse financial data. However, the technical complexity of accounting often induces heightened academic anxiety, impairing cognitive functions and academic performance. Utilising a survey methodology, data were collected from a stratified random sample of 518 higher secondary students using anewly developed Test of Problem-Solving Skills in Accounting and a standardised Academic Anxiety Scale. The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between academic anxiety and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, gender and type of school management significantly impact both anxiety and problem-solving capabilities independently, though their interaction effects are not statistically significant. The study concludes that enhancing problem-solving competencies can act as a crucial therapeutic buffer against academic stress.
