Thesis (M.A.)--Western Carolina University, 2015.

The relationship between anxiety and working memory capacity (WMC) and performance is a widely researched topic in the field of psychology. Typically, anxiety has a negative effect on working memory performance (Coy, O'Brien, Tabaczynski, Northern, & Carels, 2011). However, the direction of the relationship between anxiety and working memory is somewhat poorly understood. Test anxiety, a form of state anxiety, has also been shown to negatively impact working memory performance. In addition, personality impacts all aspects of human behavior. Therefore, it is realistic to expect personality to have an impact on anxiety. In fact, many studies have established an association between job characteristics and anxiety and personality characteristics such as neuroticism. The purpose of the present study was to investigate and examine the relationship between anxiety, personality, and working memory performance. There were 45 participants, all of whom were students at Western Carolina University. The Beck Anxiety Inventory -- Trait Version and Reactions to Tests inventory were both used to gather information on the participants' levels of anxiety. The M5-120, which is based on the FFM of personality, was used to gather information on the participants' personality. Automated Complex Span Tasks were used to gather information on that participants' working memory performance. Findings revealed significant relationships between gender and working memory performance and RTT scores as well as between type of instructions and BAIT scores. Findings also revealed significant relationships between RTT scores and working memory performance, BAIT scores, and the Neuroticism domain. Furthermore, findings revealed significant relationships between the Neuroticism domain and BAIT scores, the Extraversion domain, and the Agreeableness domain. A significant relationship was also revealed between the Openness to Experience domain and BAIT scores. Lastly, two multiple regression models were statistically significant in their ability to predict working memory performance using RTT scores alone, and RTT scores and the Conscientiousness domain as predictors. This study suggests that both anxiety and personality play a role in working memory performance but additional research is needed to further explore this relationship.
