Manifest Anxiety and Orality Among Smokers and Non-SmokersBirdsong, Luther Ellis 06 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between manifest anxiety and orality as related to smokers and non-smokers as indicated on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Blaky Pitres Test (4). From the above theoretical background, the following relationships are hypothesized:
Hypothesis I: Smokers will show more anxiety than nonsmokers.
hypothesis 2: Female smokers will show more anxiety than male smokers.
Hypothesis 3: Among the high anxiety group smokers will show more orality than non-smokers.

Effects of Manifest Anxiety Upon a Measure of Memory SpanWinston, Robert M. L. 01 1900 (has links)
This study will attempt to verify the Hullian drive theory, E = f(HxD), as others have done before, but with one exception. The H, or habit strength, will be held to be neutral so that the E, or excitatory potentials, will be a function of drive alone. Without any habit to reinforce, any increase in excitatory potential can be related directly to increase in drive. Four hypotheses were investigated: The first hypothesis was that the HA, or high-anxiety groups, will also be the high-drive groups, and this will follow for the NA and LA groups, to be determined by the performance on the digit-span test. The second hypothesis was that the high-drive groups will perform better on the digit-span tests than the low-drive groups. The third hypothesis stressed that in accordance with Hullian theory, with increased stress being introduced with a single habit tendency, the low-drive groups will be outperformed by the high-drive groups. The fourth hypothesis presumed that verification of the first three hypotheses will show the "Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale" to be capable of differentiating between high and low manifest anxiety groups and will verify the Taylor-Spence hypothesis based on Hullian theory that the HA's will outperform the LA's in a stress situation.

Eine Rekonstruktion der Angstforschung auf der Grundlage von Problemen der "Manifest Anxiety Scale"Rogner, Josef 08 December 2016 (has links)
In einer problemzentrierten Rekonstruktion werden zunächst Entwicklungen innerhalb der Angstforschung beschrieben. Diese Analyse akzentuiert die wenig beachtete Frage nach den Determinanten der Testantwort, insbesondere im Bereich subjektiv-verbaler Verfahren. In weiteren Abschnitten werden Beiträge der Signalentdeckungstheorie, linearer Strukturgleichungsmodelle mit latenten Variablen und der Methode retrospektiver Vortests zu dieser Frage diskutiert und mit eigenen Untersuchungen exemplifiziert.

The Effect of Two Levels of Noise, Two Types of Noise, and Anxiety on Student Performance of a Coding TaskNearing, William E. 08 1900 (has links)
This study dealt with the effect of low-level noise and high-level noise, of white noise and varied noise, and of high manifest anxiety and low manifest anxiety on college students' performance on a coding task. The conclusions of the study, based upon the hypotheses, were as follows: 1. Level of anxiety does not affect performance on a coding task. 2. The level of white and level of varied noise does not affect performance on a coding task. 3. Varied noise has a positive effect on performance on a coding task.

A Comparative Study of Anxiety between Science and Art MajorsBenningfield, Milo Francis 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of anxiety in college freshmen and seniors from the Departments of Science and Art at North Texas State College by using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale. It is hoped that the findings uncovered by this study will be of help to others interested in investigating and exploring this area.

It is the purpose of this study to attempt to discover the nature of the relationship between manifest anxiety and the college learning situation, as indicated by the performance of the subject in the college classroom situation.

The psychological effects of dissecting human cadaversVan Rensburg, Madri Stephani Jansen 02 1900 (has links)
The aim of the study was to determine the extent of the psychological influence that human cadaver dissection has on Homoeopathy and Chiropractic students. Changes in axiety levels, appraisals (of the self, the situation and the environment), coping strategies and behavioural changes were investigated during the following four dissection phases: (i) before the dissection started (preparation); (ii) the first dissection period (exposure); (iii) two weeks after dissection started (development of resources) and (iv) three months after dissection started (stabilisation). Anxiety levels were measured using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale. The remaining sections of the self-administered questionnaire included open and closed ended sections. Anxiety levels were found to be low, possibly due to students being previously exposure to the dissection hall, during peer tutoring sessions. Although active coping strategies were used most often, no clear pattern emerged with regard to which coping strategy was more effective in dealing with dissection anxiety. / Psychology / M. Sc.
