ABSTRACT
Anxiety is the most common form of mental disorders among adolescents. Anxiety may influence adolescents' academic performance at school. In more severe conditions, it might lead to depression and even suicide. This study examined the relationship of self-efficacy, achievement motivation, and anxiety among junior high school students in a sub-urban area of Samarinda City, Indonesia. Apart from these variables, researchers also added the students' characteristics of age and gender in the analysis. This was a quantitative study with a correlational design. The data were obtained from 685 junior high school students that were randomly selected from 9 schools. The data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS Statistics Software to determine the relationship between variables. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were used in this study. The results of multivariate analysis using ordinal logistic regression revealed that gender, age, and self-efficacy were significantly associated with students' anxiety, and there was no significant association between achievement motivation and anxiety. A conducive learning environment, providing appropriate feedback, counseling services, and involving parents are steps recommended by researchers to increase students' self-efficacy and minimize anxiety.
