Exploring the Cognitive-Emotional Mechanisms of Hypnotherapy in Reducing Examination Anxiety among Adolescents

Abstract Examination anxiety refers to a widespread emotion issue that impacts academic achievement, self-worth, as well as psychological wellness in adolescents. The current research is an inquiry into the cognitive-emotional processes where hypnotherapy alleviates anxiety in exams among high school students. A quasi-experimental trial was conducted in one of the schools in West Bengal which had a total population of 200 (110 males, 90 females) students in classes 8-10 with age ranging between 11-16 years. The effects of hypnotherapy were carried out by pre-testing and three post-tests using the Test Anxiety Questionnaire (Nist and Diehl, 1990). The clinical subjects were separated into equal groups of experimental and control. Experimental group was exposed to structured hypnotherapy (3 sessions in 3 months) and the control group was not subjected to any intervention. Paired t-statistic analysis revealed that there was a significant decline of the anxiety scores in the experimental group (p =.001) with an average improvement of 24-38% over the three months, versus slight changes in the control group. The comparison based on gender showed that there were slightly more reductions in female pupils. The results indicate that hypnotherapy can be used to reduce anxiety with the help of cognitive reframing, emotional regulation, and attentional control. This study recommends the use of hypnotherapy as an effective, evidence-based treatment option in the examination of adolescence anxiety and encourages its inclusion in school-based mental health treatment.
