3) The mean of state-anxiety was 32.36. The distribution according to the state-anxiety degree had shown that 64.62% of students were normal, 27.20% of students had mild state-anxiety, 6.95% was moderate state-anxiety, 1.23% was severe state-anxiety.

8) Depression had a significant correlation with trait-anxiety(r=.618, p<.0001). Correlation between depression and state-anxiety was relatively positive(r=.529, p<.0001). Trait-anxiety had a significant correlation with the state-anxiety (r=.468, p<.0001). Abnormal behavior had a positive correlation significantly with depression (r=.529, p<.0001), trait anxiety (r=.468, p<.0001), and state anxiety(r=.305, p<.0001)
Conclusion: It seems that depression and anxiety level were within normal range compare to other studies. But Abnormal behavior were somewhat lower level due to parents-administered questionnaires. From the findings of the study, abnormal behavior had significant correlation with depression and anxiety.
