STUDY ON ANALYSIS OF DETERMINANTS THAT INFLUENCE CANDIDATES BEHAVIOR IN THE EXAMINATION PROCESS FOR OBTAINING A DRIVING LICENSE

Abstract

This article presents a brief analysis of the determinants that influence the behavior of candidates in the examination process for obtaining a driver's license, wanting to bring a psychological approach in the context of examinations conducted by Ministry of Interior staff. The Status-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to measure the subjective level of anxiety. Conclusions were drawn regarding test anxiety, which is one of the situations where negative emotions affect the candidates' performance in the examination process. We were also interested to know if there are differences between the scores obtained by the group of people who were declared admitted after the first test and the rest of the people who failed to take the exam at the first, at the scales that measures the two types of anxiety (anxiety as a condition and as a trait).
