The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adaptive self-talk on test anxiety, automatic thinking, self-regulation, and life satisfaction in university students with test anxiety tendency. The subjects of the study were 38 out of 530 university students who agreed to participate in the study with a test anxiety (TAI-K) score of 80 or higher, and were allocated wirelessly to the training group(18 students) and the control group(20 students). The training group supplemented the self-instruction training of Meichenbaum (1971) with an adaptive self-talk that helps in cognition and emotional regulation, and provided for a week, and the control group was the waiting group without treatment. Both groups completed questionnaires about test anxiety, automatic thinking, cognitive and emotional control strategies, and life satisfaction before and after. After the experiment, the control group was provided with test anxiety psychological education according to the research ethics, and the training group completed a follow-up questionnaire 2 weeks before the final exam for extra anxiety control. As a result of the study, the degree of test anxiety and negative automatic thinking decreased in the training group compared to the control group, positive automatic thinking tended to increase, and there was a change in the acceptance and self-criticism of cognitive emotional regulation strategies. But, there was no significant difference in life satisfaction. However, test anxiety was found to maintain the improvement effect after about 2 months of participation in the experiment, suggesting that self-instruction training helps university students with test anxiety tendency through adaptive self-talk to correct cognition and behavior related to social anxiety.
