Abstract

This study examined psychological factors affecting student's anxiety towards accounting modules. These factors include fear, desire, incapability and self-confidence.

A pilot study was conducted by distributing 300 questionnaire to students in Financial and Banking Science department and Accounting department at Faculty of Economics in Tishreen University over the period 2018-2019. Only 225 questionnaire was qualified to be included in the sample.

The results showed that students feel anxious towards accounting modules and this was confirmed by the results of T-Test.

Also, the results implied a positive impact of fear and incapability on anxiety level as well as a negative impact of self-confidence and desire on anxiety level. Besides, the anxiety level seemed to vary among Accounting modules and majors.
