A component factor analysis (direct oblimin rota- tion) was conducted on the TEAM's 26 items to determine the components of the TEAM and which prompts loaded on each factor. As summarized in Tables 2 and 3, analyses of the 26 core items in the TEAM ultimately yielded five factors with adequate internal consistency in students who have TA. The Cronbach's alpha value of the five subscales ranged from .72 to .83. Preliminary analysis of the face validity of the factors suggested that State Anxiety, Distractibility During Exams, Trait Anxiety, Worry, and Rumination factors make up the TEAM. To determine the reliability of the TEAM, the internal consistency measure of Cronbach's alpha was calculated on the TEAM scores. The TEAM had a reliability coefficient of .90. Cronbach's alpha was also calculated on STAI-T and the TAI-5. Those reliability coefficients were .90 and .89 respectively (see Table 3). Validity and Correlation Construct and concurrent validity of the TEAM was established by correlating the total scores of the TEAM, TAI-5, STAI-T, and GPA with each other using Pearson's correlations. The TEAM significantly correlated with the TAI-5 at .79 (p < .001). The TEAM significantly correlated with the STAI-T at .50 (p < .001), and the TEAM, STAI- T, and TAI-5 all negatively correlated with GPA. A summary of these results can be found in Table 4. Table 5 outlined the five factors of the TEAM and their relationship to the TAI-5, STAI-T, and GPA. Independent t Test and ANOVA An
