Synthesis Matrix Sample

This document summarizes research on anxiety in graduate students. It identifies three major themes: (1) multiple roles that graduate students are expected to balance, such as teaching, researching, and financial responsibilities; (2) challenges with relationships due to lack of socializing and potential criticism from those in their department; and (3) aspects of the classroom environment that can increase anxiety, such as feedback, debates, and independent work. The document presents this information through a table that lists sources and briefly describes how they relate to each theme.
