Genes Causes Phobia?
According to some research, to some extent exam fever is caused due to genetic factors.
Family Effect
Anxiety disorder
can be genetic. If a parent has the disorder then a child can get it because of genes or because of learned behavior.
Fear Gene
There is no fear gene in reality that gets transmitted from parents to kids. The genes that cause phobia are present in the general population.
Environmental factors
Nature and nurture are also some of the factors that can cause examinophobia.
Topmost factors
The main reasons for exam fever could be, poor study habits, poor performance in previous exams/tests, parents pressure, etc.
Performance Pressure
About 66% of the students develop exam fever because their parents pressurise them for best academic performance or to score good marks in exams.
Lack of Confidence
Despite studying well, if you lack confidence and fail to focus or skip revision, you tend to develop exam phobia.
