ABSTRACT: Objective: To
understand the relationship between professional identity of student teachers
and anxiety, and to explore the moderating effect of campus pressure after
controlling demographic variables. Methods: A questionnaire survey was
conducted among 325 student teachers by using the Professional identity scale,
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Campus stress scale. Results: 1) Professional
identity of student teachers is an influencing factor of anxiety, and it can be
significantly negative to predict the degree of anxiety. 2) Campus pressure
plays a moderating role in the relationship between professional identity and
anxiety; it negatively impacts the relationship between professional identity
and anxiety. Conclusion: The relationship between student teachers’ professional
identity and anxiety is
moderated by the pressure of the campus.
