Competition increases anxiety in learners.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that competition increases anxiety in learners?

Partly. One education study reports that perceived pressure rises with class competition and treats learning anxiety as a mediator, while a stress survey describes students anxious owing to competition. Other items, in gamified and language-learning settings, report that competition reduces or displaces anxiety, so the evidence is partial and points both ways.
