Descriptive survey was adopted for the study while 300 respondents were selected through purposive sampling technique. A questionnaire titled “Trigger Stimuli of Anxiety” was used to collect information. It possessed a reliability coefficient of 0.79.

The major trigger stimuli of anxiety among respondents are research-related (X=2.78) and teaching- related (X=2.52). Females scored higher on trigger stimuli of anxiety while university lecturers also expressed highest (X=61.04) compared to polytechnic (57.31) and college of education (55.17).
