مستخلص: This study examines whether the trait and state anxiety and cursive handwriting anxiety of teachers differs according to assorted variables. The study group for this research project is composed of 381 teachers from the city of Burdur and the district centre of Bucak, Turkey. Of these participants, 44% were female and 56% were male. As for the subject taught, 57.7% were primary school teachers while 42.3% taught various other subjects. In the study, the State, Trait Inventory and Cursive Handwriting Anxiety Scale was used. The results of the study illustrate that the scores of state, trait anxiety and cursive handwriting anxiety do not differ according to the teachers' gender. It was determined that teachers' trait, state, inspection, inner anxiety scores and total scores of cursive handwriting anxiety differ in relation of the branches in which they teach; teachers' inspection, inner anxiety scores and total score of cursive handwriting anxiety varied in terms of the number of years they had been teaching; and teachers' average scores of trait and inner anxiety differed significantly in terms of their age. Furthermore, this study established that there is a positive and significant relationship between trait, state anxiety and cursive handwriting anxiety scores of teachers. In addition, gender, branch, age and cursive handwriting anxiety are significant predictors of trait anxiety as branch, age and cursive handwriting anxiety are significant predictors of state anxiety. Consequently, the study uncovered that teachers are generally anxious. Information studies may prove useful to determine how teacher anxieties can be reduced prior to anxiety inducing circumstances, such as program change.
