Manifest Anxiety

The aim of this study was to investigate how differences in anxiety levels relate to selective sensitivity to basic emotions (emotional bias) with minimal exposure time. Masked pictures of happiness, angry, fear, disgust, surprise, sad and neutral facial expressions were presented to 298 men at exposure times in intervals 16ms, 34ms, 49ms, 66ms. After presenting each image, the participants chose on the screen by pressing a key the name of an emotion suitable, in their opinion, Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS) was used to measure of trait anxiety. There were subjects of various professional groups (firefighters, military, athletes, psychologists, mathematicians). We found that Selective sensitivity to basic emotions at exposure times up to 49ms is determined by internal interpolation of the perceiver’s personality. Highly anxious men are unconsciously more likely to choose fear, anger and disgust. The increase in anxiety are accompanied by decreased preference of anger and happiness. Low-anxious men unconsciously ignore fear, anger, disgust, and preferred neutral face. Men of different professions are differed in the level of anxiety and emotional bias in basic emotions. Firefighters have the lowest level of anxiety, mathematics have the highest.

Facial Expressions Of Emotion

Abstract. Past research suggests that transient mood influences the perception of facial expressions of emotion, but relatively little is known about how trait-level emotionality (i.e., temperament) may influence emotion perception or interact with mood in this process. Consequently, we extended earlier work by examining how temperamental dimensions of negative emotionality and extraversion were associated with the perception accuracy and perceived intensity of three basic emotions and how the trait-level temperamental effect interacted with state-level self-reported mood in a sample of 88 adults (27 men, 18–51 years of age). The results indicated that higher levels of negative mood were associated with higher perception accuracy of angry and sad facial expressions, and higher levels of perceived intensity of anger. For perceived intensity of sadness, negative mood was associated with lower levels of perceived intensity, whereas negative emotionality was associated with higher levels of perceived intensity of sadness. Overall, our findings added to the limited literature on adult temperament and emotion perception.

Computer Interactions

The role of affect has been long studied in human–computer interactions. Unlike previous studies that focused on seven basic emotions, an avatar named Diana was introduced who expresses a higher level of emotional intelligence. To adapt to the users various affects during interaction, Diana simulates emotions with dynamic facial expressions. When two people collaborated to build blocks, their affects were recognized and labeled using the Affdex SDK and a descriptive analysis was provided. When participants turned to collaborate with Diana, their subjective responses were collected and the length of completion was recorded. Three modes of Diana were involved: a flat-faced Diana, a Diana that used mimicry facial expressions, and a Diana that used emotionally responsive facial expressions. Twenty-one responses were collected through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and the NASA TLX. Results from questionnaires were not statistically different. However, the emotionally responsive Diana obtained more positive responses, and people spent the longest time with the mimicry Diana. In post-study comments, most participants perceived facial expressions on Diana’s face as natural, four mentioned uncomfortable feelings caused by the Uncanny Valley effect.

Differential Contribution

The study investigates three subscales of manifest anxiety, consisting of symptoms of striated muscle tension, symptoms of autonomic arousal, and feelings of fear and insecurity. There was both a general factor of anxiety and a specific factor associated with striated muscle tension. Further evidence for the specific nature of striated muscle tension was indicated by its positive relationship to feelings of hostility, its failure to relate to a personality variable of inhibition, and the relatively high score obtained by males. It was hypothesized that striated muscle tension is more closely associated with overt activity than autonomic symptoms, which represent a deeper level of inhibition. Discrepant results of studies using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale may be due to a failure to take into account the differential contribution of items relating to different kinds of anxiety.

Moderate Relationship

Anxiety in asthma has been measured in two ways. The MMPI Panic-Fear scale is a measure of general, nonillness specific anxiety and the Panic-Fear symptom scale of the Asthma Symptom Checklist is a measure of illness-specific anxiety focused on the asthma attack. Both measures relate to response styles in asthma which contribute to the maintenance of illness. In the present study of 140 asthmatic patients, MMPI Panic-Fear scores were highly related to trait-anxiety measured by the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, even after partialling out checklist Panic-Fear symptom scores. In contrast, Panic-Fear symptomatology had a more moderate relationship to the Taylor Anxiety scores and was independent of the Taylor scores after partialling out MMPI Panic-Fear scores. The results support earlier findings suggesting that MMPI Panic-Fear measures trait anxiety. In contrast, checklist Panic-Fear symptom reports measure an illness-specific state anxiety that is not per se a measure of trait anxiety.

216 college students were administered the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, the Bortner Type A/B Scale for coronary-prone behavior, and the Rotter internal-external Locus of Control Inventory. The results indicated that the mean anxiety score for the Type A-external group was significantly higher than those of the other three groups. This finding supports the bio-behavioral theory that high-risk coronary-prone individuals are more likely to possess a Type A, high external control, and high anxiety score profile. A mathematical analysis of responses to the items on the Bonner scale produced three interpretable factors, aggression, speed, and impatience, all of which have some clinical validity in other studies.

Manifest Anxiety

A Delinquency Scale (Peterson, Quay, & Cameron, 1959), the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (Taylor, 1953), and the Gordon Personal Inventory (Gordon, 1956) were administered in random order to 609 Federal Reformatory residents. Several other test and demographic measures were obtained for each S from reformatory records. Product-moment intercorrelations among variables ( p = .01), defined those relationships statistically different from zero. The results failed to demonstrate a consistency, or invariance, with those relationships observed by Quay, Peterson, and Consalvi (1960). The data suggest that Psychopathy and Neuroticism, as measured by the Delinquency Scale, are not independent factors, and both appear, instead, to assess a personality dimension best described as the “acting-out neurotic.” The data also provide discriminative validity information for the various subscales of the Gordon Personal Inventory, substantiating Gordon's (1956) original construct labels.

Pendidikan kesehatan merupakan cara penyampaian informasi kesehatan yang mudah diterima oleh ibu hamil dengan berbagai media yang digunakan. Masalah emosional yang terjadi pada kehamilan trimester III adalah perasaan cemas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa pengaruh pendidikan kesehatan menggunakan metode cemarah dan leaflet terhadap tingkat kecemasan ibu hamil trimester III. Penelitian Quasi Experiment dengan pre-test dan post-test group sebanyak 48 responden dengan teknik Purposive Sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengukur skala kecemasan Taylor Manifest Anxiety  Scale (TMAS). Analisis data menggunakan Paired T test dan Independen T test. Hasil penelitian di dapatkan ada perbedaan tingkat kecemasan ibu hamil trimester III sesudah diberikan pendidikan kesehatan dengan menggunakan metode ceramah dan leaflet dengan nilai p =0,000. Pendidikan kesehatan yang diberikan pada ibu hamil saat melakukan pelayanan antenatal terbukti mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu hamil terhadap kehamilannya. Leaflet sangat efektif untuk menyampaikan pesan singkat dan padat media ini juga mudah dibawa dan disebarluaskan karena ukurannya lebih ringkas dan jumlah yang dibawa lebih banyak dari pada poster.
