Three group treatments for university students (N = 81) with test anxiety were compared to test if treatment satisfaction and therapeutic alliance differed between groups, while taking into account the actual reduction of test anxiety and the perceived engagement of the group as possible confounding factors. Two groups offered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), one of them included Imagery Rescripting (CBT+ImRs; n = 30), the other relaxation techniques (CBT+R; n = 20). The third group was a therapist assisted self-help group (SH; n = 31). An covariate analysis of variance (ANCOVA) with planned contrasts, controlling for the covariates group engagement and symptom reduction, revealed that students in the CBT groups were significantly more satisfied than in the SH group (t(76) = −5.27, p = .001, r = .52). Furthermore, we could find in a second ANCOVA that the CBT+ImRs group showed higher therapeutic alliance scores compared to the CBT+R (t(78) = −2.05, p = .044, r = .23), while both CBT conditions showed higher alliance scores than the SH group (t(78) = −3.16, p = .002, r = .34).

三个不同测试焦虑症治疗组的治疗满意度和治疗联盟

比较了测试焦虑的大学生（N = 81）的三组治疗方法，以检验各组之间的治疗满意度和治疗联盟是否不同，同时考虑到测试焦虑的实际减少和该组的参与度是可能的混杂因素。两组提供认知行为疗法（CBT），其中一组包括图像改写（CBT + ImRs； n = 30），另一组包括放松技术（CBT + R； n = 20）。第三组是治疗师协助的自助组（SH； n = 31）。通过对有计划的对比进行方差协变量分析（ANCOVA），控制了协变量组的参与度和症状减轻，发现CBT组的学生比SH组的学生满意度更高（t（76）= -5.27，p =。 001，r = .52）。此外，
