Description
This study aims to extend writing research by evaluating the effectiveness of a cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention on student writing self-efficacy, apprehension, and performance. Using a multiple-baseline design, effectiveness will be determined by total words written, percentage of correct writing sequences, and pre- and poststudy reports of writing self-efficacy and apprehension. From this study, we will learn about the effectiveness of CBT in increasing writing performance and writing self-efficacy and decreasing writing apprehension.
