چکیده

Measures of state anxiety (A state) and trait anxiety (A trait) were obtained from 48 VA psychiatric in-patients before and after either a stressful or nonstressful (control) interview. Scores on 2 of 3 A-state measures were significantly increased by the stress interview; none of the A-state measures was influenced by the control interview, Neither of the 2 A-trait measures was affected by either type of interview. These results demonstrated the meaningfulness of a conceptual distinction between trait and state anxiety and the differential influence of stressful conditions on empirical measures of these concepts.
