With the fall semester finals at USD Law now in the books, law students can attest to the anxiety that comes along with waiting for their scores. The same is true for many bar exam takers, and a new study provides data indicating that those taking the bar exam are significantly stressed immediately after the exam and also in the weeks before the results were released. The article, by Kate Sweeney and Sara Andrews, is titled Mapping Individual Differences in the Experiences of a Waiting Period, and it appears in a recent issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. For the article, Sweeney and Andrews tracked 50 law school graduates who took the California bar exam in 2011.
A recent post by the TaxProf Blog provides the abstract of the article, as well as comments from author Kate Sweeney, who is a professor of psychology at the University of California - Riverside.
