Interaction between writing apprehension, motivation, attitude and writing performance: a structural equation modeling approach

This study modeled the relationship between various psychological dimensions (motivation,language aptitude and attitude towards language) that have been hypothesised to affect writing apprehension and performance. The method used in this study is the testing of a structural model through the use of...
