For the recent years, more and more reports had indicated that Chinese students are suffering from educational anxiety when entering in higher education. This paper examines the relationship between environmental factors, self-factors, family factors, and how these factors affect educational anxiety for Chinese students entering higher education. This study uses the 2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) panel data to analyse the relationship between these factors. The results have shown that the environmental factors such as what type of school do they go to and the self-factors such as the expectations on oneself has great associations with students’ anxiety level. The anxiety level is positively correlated with the academic strength of each type of the school, and students who do not met their self-expectations and with intention to improve suffer the most anxiety. Most of the students do now know their family spence on education therefore the relationship between family factors and educational anxiety needs further research to be determined.
