7. When a class of nursing students discusses their concerns about their program, the concern shared by
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
most learners is generally the fear of
J J J J J J J
a. succeeding.
b. economic problems. J
c. failure.
d. ridicule.
ANS: C J
Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or setbacks the learner
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are afraid of succeeding. Uncertainty about
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
economic issues is common among students but is not as universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
rarely a concern; if present, it is usually superseded by fear of failure.
