Research shows substantial anxiety reduction and test gains

Confirmed Benefits

Anxiety Control

The Training was found to produce substantial anxiety-reduction benefits in 5 consecutive studies.

The more promising cognitive and desensitization protocols yield a respectable improvement (1.0 – 1.2 SD benefit).

The anxiety control training produced a significantly stronger anxiety reduction benefit (1.8 SD benefit).

Substantial Test Gains

The training has produced an average half a letter grade test gains (12 percentile) in our first four studies with 50+ college students, and a quarter grade gain (4-6 percentile) with middle school students (see research)

Summary

We conclude that the training protocol should produce a substantial half grade benefit for anxious high school and college students, and a more modest quarter grade benefit for intermediate and middle school students.
