k k k k k k k


a. Succeeding

, Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


setbacks the learner has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are afraid
k k k k k k k k k k k k k


of succeeding. Uncertainty about economic issues is common among students but is not as
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is rarely a concern; if present, it is usually
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k


superseded by fear of failure.
