Sažetak
The aim of the research was to establish differences in the intensity of
situational anxiety in pupils of the fourth, fifth and sixth form according to age and gender, and to establish the link between anxiety and the number of absences and school success. The survey was conducted on a sample of 203 pupils of a Varaždin elementary school. The results of the measurements point to significantly higher anxiety in high anxiety circumstances, and to the major effect of age on both conditions. Fourth form pupils show the least intensity of anxiety, and a trend of growth of anxiety is observed as a function of age. In high anxiety circumstances, girls express a significantly
higher intensity of anxiety than boys. A low positive link between the number of justified absences and the intensity of situational anxiety was obtained, while the link between situational anxiety and school performance was not confirmed.
