Individual students<br />

Change in BAI scores<br />

Three CVC students showed clear reduction in anxiety levels and Joe scored the<br />

greatest improvement, three students recorded little change and three others<br />

considered their anxiety to have increased. The CVC students have a greater spread<br />

of results than those from The Centre School which suggests that they have not<br />

tended to the norm. The statistics in table 6.2.4 summarise the findings for the change<br />

scores in anxiety. They reveal that without John the standard deviation is half as<br />

spread out for The Centre School as at CVC. It only varies by 3.62 whereas CVC<br />

varies by 6.96. It is interesting that Joe made the most significant improvement in<br />

self-reported levels of anxiety, although he scored the lowest in self-concept (8.3)<br />

The table shows the modified data without Joe, as before, and without John who is<br />

another outlier.<br />
