Abstract: The objective of the study was to establish relation model between trait anxiety and its influencing factors. Three latent variables were formed, which were personality, schoolwork pressure and environment. Personality included two indicator variables self abased and introversion; school pressure included two indicator variables schoolwork pressure and interrelationship; environment included four indicator variables bad school adaptation and poor health, bad influence of the environment and bad raising style of parents. Results showed that personality and school pressure directly affected trait anxiety, while environment as an object variable affected trait anxiety indirectly by personality and school pressure. Furthermore, personality also affected school pressure.

Key words: secondary school students, trait anxiety, influencing factor, modeling
