The impact on fear of being evaluated negatively in academic environments on decision making strategies

In this study, the effect of fear of negative evaluation on decision-making strategies in academic environments has been investigated. A total of 200 university students 100 male, 100 female from associate, bachelor's and graduate levels studying at Istanbul Arel University participated in the study. In order to measure the fear of negative evaluation in academic environments, the scale for fear of negative evaluation in academic environments has been applied. Decision-making strategies have been evaluated with the scale for decision strategies. IBM SPSS statistics 20 package program has been used in the statistical analysis of the data obtained from the research and independent-sample t-test, Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis have been used. According to the results of the correlation analysis between the fear of negative evaluation in academic environments and decision-making strategies, the conclusion is that there is a significant positive relationship in terms of impulsive decision making, dependent decision making and indecisiveness. On the other hand, the model decision formed by the fear of negative evaluation in academic environments and the fear of behavioral negative evaluation in academic environments and the fear of cognitive negative evaluation in academic environments significantly affect the logical decision, dependent decision and indecision variables, and do not significantly affect the impulsive decision variables.
