dc.description.abstractThe study investigated the effect of breathing techniques on test anxiety among students at the University of Zululand. Data was collected on a sample of one hundred (N=100) full time students aged between eighteen (18) and thirty two (32). The study consisted of the intervention group (N=60) and the control group (40). Results of the study indicated that participants in the intervention group obtained different results after the intervention of breathing techniques. There was a small discrepancy between the control and the intervention group in the post-test phase. This verified the hypothesis that breathing techniques had a positive effect on students with test anxiety. The results were however not statistically significant probably because of a shorter period of breathing intervention. On the whole, the intervention suggests that breathing does have a positive effect on test taking anxiety.en_US
