The results found a statistically significant positive direct effect of both the first and second orders of cognitive holding power on research self-efficacy. There is a statistically significant positive direct effect of positive emotional memory in the second order of cognitive holding power, as well as a presence of statistically significant  positive direct effect of negative emotional memory in cognitive perception anxiety.
The results of the study also found a statistically significant negative direct effect of cognitive perception anxiety on both research self-efficacy and first- and second-order cognitive holding power.
The results of the study found indirect effects between the study variables, which is the presence of a statistically significant indirect effect of cognitive perception anxiety on research self-efficacy through both (the first and second orders of cognitive holding power). There is also a statistically significant indirect effect of negative emotional memory on both the second-order of  cognitive holding power and research self-efficacy  through cognitive conception anxiety.
