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superseded by fear of failure.
