系統化消除敏感及肌肉鬆弛法被證明對一般的焦慮反應為有效，同時電擊法也被證明為有效，但是由於兩種行為輔導力法的不同及所使用的技巧也互異。本研究乃進一步探討這兩種方法對特殊的考試焦慮反應個案是否為有效，也研討這兩種方法何者較為有效，實驗分為三組，第一組為電擊組，第二組為肌肉鬆弛組，第三組為控制組。全部受試為18人，在分別接受測驗焦慮量表的前後測及行為輔導後，所得之結論為：兩種方法對考試焦慮皆為有效，而且兩者之間的效果並無顯著差異，因此一種方法優於另一種方法的說法不能成立。

　　　　　It has been established that systematic desensitization and muscle relaxation in behavioral counseling are effective in counseling general anxiety. It is also proved that the technique of electric shock is effective. However, there is still a need to further investigate whether these counseling techniques are workable in the specific test anxiety cases. And it would also be useful to investigate which one of these two counseling techniques is superior in dealing with test anxiety. 18 cases were divided into 3 groups at random. The first group was the muscle relaxation group. The second was the electric shock group, and the third was the control group. The subjects of this study were selected from students of National Taiwan University in Taipei. They were the students who scored higher than the norm in the Scale for Test Anxiety. Each client was counseled once a week for four weeks, and each was post-tested with the sames cale. The results of this study indicate: (1) both behavioral counseling techniques are effective in counseling test anxiety cases, (2) there is no significant difference between the counseling resluts of these two techniques. Therefore, one may conclude that both techniques are equally effective in counseling test anxiety.
