图书馆焦虑理论及其研究进展

本文对国内外已有的有关图书馆焦虑理论的文献进行分析研究,研究主要从图书馆焦虑理论内涵、量表和模型的介绍分析、最新研究成果、理论的应用和意义以及存在的问题等几个方面来进行。     

《图书馆焦虑：理论、研究和应用》的译读与思考

介绍《图书馆焦虑：理论、研究和应用》一书的基本内容,分析此书所具有的主要价值：可作为图书馆与信息科学研究方法的迷你型教科书;此书的主要特点：内容跨学科性、科学性与开放性相统一、理论性与实践性兼具。指出该书中文版的问世可使图书馆焦虑研究的中国化更广泛、更深入、更科学。     

大学生图书馆焦虑状况调查

美国图书馆学家Constance A．Mellon于1986年首次提出“图书馆焦虑”概念。Sharon L Bostick于1992年在其博士论文中建立了图书馆焦虑的定量研究工具——图书馆焦虑量表。本文利用修订后的中文图书馆焦虑量表对吉林大学本科生进行了抽样调查，结果发现中国大学生的确存在图书馆焦虑；并分析了图书馆焦虑在性别、文献检索课选修、学科、年级的差异状况。     

克服图书馆焦虑

图书馆焦虑对学生们有效地利用图书馆有不良的影响,除学习方式外,年龄、学习时间、母语、兼职状况、利用图书馆的原因、所从事研究的学术级别、性虽等也是图书馆焦虑的影响因素,研究这些因素与图书馆焦虑的关系,录求改进的途径,可帮助一克服图书馆焦虑。     

基于图书馆员焦虑的高校图书馆焦虑研究

图书馆员障碍是产生图书馆焦虑的第一原因,所以,缓解图书馆员焦虑是消除图书馆焦虑现象行之有效的办法.高校图书馆通过营造人性化的图书馆环境、采取双向性沟通的服务方式、优化管理体制和完善激励机制等来缓解图书馆员焦虑,最终消除图书馆焦虑.     

我国高校学生图书馆焦虑及其影响因素研究

[目的/意义] 图书馆焦虑是影响我国高校学生图书馆资源利用的主要障碍,对图书馆焦虑及其影响因素进行的研究,有助于图书馆更深入地了解用户心理,进而提升为用户服务的质量。[方法/过程] 采用访谈法、问卷调查法、数理统计等方法,从资源、检索、制度、员工、知识、舒适度和情感7个维度及用户的一般人口学特征、个人特质、信息素养培训状况3方面来研究我国高校学生图书馆焦虑现状及其影响因素。[结果/结论] 通过构建图书馆焦虑测量常模,发现我国高校学生图书馆焦虑处于中度焦虑水平。研究还表明,资源、检索和制度维度是影响图书馆焦虑的主要因素,用户在各维度的图书馆焦虑程度与其性别、年级、年龄、学习成绩、所属高校类型、一般性焦虑和自尊状况以及是否参加图书馆培训和信息检索课程等自身因素有关。本研究为我国图书馆焦虑实证研究提供测量工具;了解图书馆焦虑形成的原因及其影响因素,提出解决图书馆焦虑的具体策略,为图书馆开展读者服务工作提供参考。     

大学生图书馆焦虑的实证分析——以广东省三所重点高校图书馆为例

借鉴波丝蒂克的图书馆焦虑量表制定中文的图书馆焦虑量表,利用问卷对三所大学本科生的图书馆焦虑程度进行测量.结果发现,大学生在图书馆员、读者个2情感、图书馆舒适度、读者所具有的图书馆知识、读者使用馆内设备五个方面的确存在图书馆焦虑;不同性别的学生图书馆焦虑程度有所区别;低年级学生的图书馆焦虑的程度高于高年级学生的焦虑程度;文献检索知识能降低大学生的图书馆员维度和图书馆知识维度的焦虑程度.

Library Anxiety Among Chinese Students: Modification and Application of LAS in the Context of Chinese Academic Libraries

In this paper, the status of library anxiety among university students in China is studied. With interviews, questionnaires and statistical methods, a modified Chinese Library Anxiety Scale (C-LAS) is developed, considerably different from that previously proposed by Bostick [Bostick, S. L. (1992). The development and validation of the Library Anxiety Scale. PhD dissertation, Wayne State University] and suitable for the Chinese cultural sphere, consisting of seven factors including resources, retrieval, regulations, staff, knowledge, comfort and affection, delineated further into 36 statements in total. Two aspects of users including demographic factors and participation in library training courses are also studied. This study proposes a quantitative measure for the levels of library anxiety in China. The findings also suggest that resources, retrieval, and regulations are the main factors impacting library anxiety and that users' library anxiety levels are related to demographic factors and participation in library training courses.     

Library Anxiety and Emotion Perception Among the Undergraduate Social Sciences Students: A Relationship Study

ABSTRACT

Previous research has mostly focused on the demographic and academic correlates of library anxiety. This study focused on the “library anxiety” and “emotion perception” of students, with the objective of examining the relationship between these two concepts. In total, 279 self-reporting questionnaires were used for analysis. The results confirmed the existence of the phenomenon of library anxiety, with these students being more anxious regarding the “user education” and “user knowledge” factors. They showed greater skills of emotion perception. A negatively significant relationship appeared between library anxiety and emotion perception. The results suggest that user education and emotion perception training programs should be developed to overcome students' problems.     

Library Anxiety among Undergraduate Students: A Comparative Study on Egypt and Saudi Arabia

The purpose of this paper is to report the findings of a study of library anxiety among a group of Arab students in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The paper also investigated the factors that affect the students' level of anxiety while using academic libraries. The study tried to compare the difference in the level of anxiety in the two countries using a scale (LLPB) developed by the researchers which fit the culture in the Arab region. The study adopted a mixed methods approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with several students in Saudi Arabia and Egypt to determine the main factors that lead to having a level of anxiety in the libraries. In the second stage, a questionnaire was sent to students to measure what factors have a greater impact on the level of anxiety. The data showed that Egyptian students are more anxious about using the libraries than the Saudi students. The results also indicated that there is a need to train students on how to use the libraries and also change students' perception regarding the library to reduce the level of anxiety. This study was conducted in Egypt and Saudi Arabia the level of library anxiety and the factors that may affect the students may vary in other countries.     

Attaining information literacy: An investigation of the relationship between skill level,self-estimates of skill,and library anxiety

Competency theory predicts a miscalibration between students' self-assessments of their information literacy skills and their actual skill level. This study investigates whether such a disparity is evident among incoming freshmen who test as non-proficient on a standardized test of information literacy. In addition, this study analyzes Information Literacy Test scores and library anxiety test scores to provide preliminary data on whether library anxiety is related to information literacy skill attainment. Findings reveal that the relationship between information literacy skills and self-assessments predicted by competency theory are evident in the domain of information literacy. This study did not find an association between information literacy skill scores and total library anxiety scores. However, a significant negative correlation between information literacy scores and the subscale “knowledge of the library” indicates that as information literacy scores rise, anxiety scores related to a lack of knowledge of the library fall. The findings suggest that traditional information literacy instruction may not be effective with non-proficient students, who are unlikely to see themselves as needing or benefiting from such instruction.     

Reexamining Fear Appeal Models from Cognitive Appraisal Theory and Functional Emotion Theory Perspectives

Recognizing inconsistencies between the extant fear appeal theories and emotion literature, this research integrated cognitive appraisal theory and functional emotion theory into a fear appeal literature and proposed a model that describes a process through which both fear and anxiety can contribute to adaptive responses. Findings from an experiment (N = 927) supported the predictions. Fear and anxiety emerged as distinct constructs. Perceived susceptibility was a stronger predictor of anxiety than fear, while perceived severity was a stronger predictor of fear than anxiety. In addition, greater fear and anxiety led to greater response efficacy through increased motivation to obtain protection-related information and heightened attention to such information, thus mediating the threat and coping appraisal processes. The SEM model testing the predictions showed that perceived susceptibility had the strongest total effects on protection intention, followed by anxiety, perceived severity, and fear.     

图书馆焦虑的测量、前因和后果——基于高校图书馆用户的实证研究

[目的/意义]从高校图书馆用户出发,引入图书馆焦虑的前因变量学业压力和后果变量到馆行为,构建理论模型并进行检验。[方法/过程]通过问卷调研获得226位高校图书馆用户数据,并采用标记变量法控制潜在的共同方法偏差,利用偏最小二乘结构方程(PLS-SEM)验证新的图书馆焦虑量表的结构,并检验图书馆焦虑与其前因变量和后果变量的关系。[结果/结论]验证5个维度18项的图书馆焦虑量表并发现共同方法偏差对图书馆焦虑测量的影响,说明利用标记变量法控制共同方法偏差适用于图情领域的实证研究。在控制共同方法偏差的影响后,发现学业压力对高校图书馆用户的图书馆焦虑产生显著负向影响,并间接影响用户到馆频次。同时,图书馆焦虑直接影响高校图书馆用户到馆频次并间接影响其到馆停留时间。这说明了高校图书馆用户图书馆焦虑的前因变量和后果变量,揭示了图书馆焦虑产生的内在机制,为理解我国图书馆用户的图书馆焦虑提供新的实证依据,也为图书馆缓解用户的图书馆焦虑提供新的思路。     

从图书馆焦虑看图书馆服务转变

图书馆焦虑是指读者必须利用图书馆来满足自身在工作、学习方面的需求,他们在利用的过程中会产生心理波动,以致于他们不能合理、有效地解决在利用图书馆过程中所遇到的问题,从而产生焦虑情绪。从国内外图书馆焦虑的研究现状来看,图书馆可以从图书馆、读者、图书馆员3个层面转变服务以克服图书馆焦虑。
