Risk Factors for School Based Anxiety: An Empirical Study Abstract. This article deals with the phenomenon of school absenteeism, with a special focus on school refusal behavior and the self-efficacy of students. Risk factors may lead to avoidance and end up in disintegrative processes. For this reason, this quantitative study investigates potential influences on school absenteeism, addressing the hypothesis that anxiety in school and lower self-efficacy may lead to school-attendance problems. To this end, we interviewed students at schools in Lower Saxony.
