When the Taylor Manifest Anxiety scale and the Cassel and Kahn Group Personality Projective Test were administered to 92 college students, no significant correlations among scores were found. Between the Tension Reduction Quotient and the Total score of the GPPT r = .84 (Class I), .98 (Class II). The freshmen scored significantly higher on both tests than the normative groups or the upper classmen. There was no significant difference in MAS variance for the students and the normative group, but 5 of 8 GPPT variances were significantly different for the students and the normative group. Thus, manifest and projective anxiety are different measures. TRQ predicts the Total score of the GPPT pretty well, and freshmen have higher anxiety but not more heterogeneous anxiety than the other groups.

SummaryThe use of cerebral electrotherapy (CET) in methadone detoxification was studied in 28 patients. Fourteen patients received active CET; the other 14 acted as controls and received either simulated CET or only methadone detoxification therapy. One patient dropped out of the study. The Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale were administered before and after the study period. Nine of the patients receiving active CET were drug-free by the end of 8 to 10 days, and all experienced a marked reduction of their symptoms; the control group did not show significant changes. CET was clearly beneficial in the treatment of patients undergoing methadone withdrawal.

The present study utilized 27 college students (14 females, 13 males) to investigate the effects of anxiety upon the ability to attend to detail (two-point threshold sensitivity). It was hypothesized that subjects both low and high in anxiety would have a smaller threshold than mild or moderately anxious subjects. A curvilinear correlation of .83 ( p < .01) was obtained between anxiety scores and two-point threshold sensitivity. There was no significant difference between mean thresholds for those scoring above or below the median on the anxiety scale. Suggestions for further research are discussed.

80 college students were involved in testing the hypotheses that peer identification would be negatively associated with adjustment and that peer identification would be more important to the adjustment of the females than to the adjustment of the males. Perceived similarity to a peer (PSP) was measured with the Role Construct Repertory Test, and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale was the adjustment index. A 2 × 2 factorial design, sex by PSP, with MAS scores as the dependent variable, was used. High PSP Ss differed significantly from low PSP Ss ( p < .001), and the main effect for sex and the sex by PSP interaction were not significant. Cell comparisons, however, suggested that the males were more responsible for the main effect than the females were. The first hypothesis was clearly supported, and the trend opposite to the second hypothesis was noted.

Abstrak. Kecemasan merupakan masalah yang umum yang kerap dirasakan oleh manusia. Klien pemasyarakatan yang merupakan narapidana yang telah kembali ke masyarakat juga mengalami kecemasan, yang berpotensi menimbulkan masalah. Kecemasan pada klien pemasyarakatan akan mengganggu tujuan dari program re-integrasi yang diberikan, sehingga perlu diberikan tindakan yang sesuai untuk menurunkan tingkan kecemasan tersebut. Konseling kelompok realita merupakan metode yang dapat dilakukan untuk menurunkan tingkat kecemasan pada klien pemasyarakatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur efektivitas dari konseling kelompok realita untuk menurunkan kecemasan pada klien pemasyarakatan di Balai Pemasyarakatan Kelas II Mataram. Desain penelitian adalah quasi experimental – nonequvalent control group pre-test/post-test, menggunakan Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS). Hasil analisis data menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol setelah diberikan intervensi. Artinya adalah konseling kelompok realita efektif untuk menurunkan kecemasan pada klien pemasyarakatan di Balai Pemasyarakatan Kelas II Mataram.Kata kunci: kecemasan, konseling kelompok realita Abstract. Anxiety is a common problem that people felt. Correctional clients who have returned to the community also experience anxiety, which could cause problems. Anxiety in correctional clients will interfere with the purpose of the re-integration program provided, so that appropriate intervention need to be given to reduce the anxiety. Reality group counseling is a method that can be done to reduce anxiety levels in correctional clients. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of group counseling reality to reduce anxiety in correctional clients at Balai Pemasyarakatan Kelas II Mataram. The study design was quasi experimental – nonequvalent control group pre-test/post-test, using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS). The results of data analysis showed a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group after being given an intervention. This means that group reality counseling is effective for reducing anxiety in correctional clients at Balai Pemasyarakatan Kelas II Mataram.Keywords: anxiety, reality group counseling

(1) Background—The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osseous morphology of normal skeletal pattern individuals with different dental malocclusions by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). (2) Methods—The CBCT images of bilateral TMJs in 67 subjects with skeletal class I and average mandibular angle (26 males and 41 females, age range 20–49 years) were evaluated in this study. The subjects were divided into class I, class II division 1, and class II division 2 according to the molar relationship and retroclination of the maxillary incisors. Angular and linear measurements of TMJ were evaluated and the differences between the groups were statistically analyzed. (3) Results—Intragroup comparisons showed statistical differences for articular eminence inclination, the width of the glenoid fossa, the ratio of the width of the glenoid fossa to the depth of the glenoid fossa, the condylar angle, and the intercondylar angle between the malocclusion groups. The measurements of the glenoid fossa shape showed no significant difference between the left and right sides. Females showed more differences in the morphological parameters of TMJ between the three malocclusion groups than the males. (4) Conclusion—The present study revealed differences in the TMJ osseous morphology between dental class I and class II malocclusions in the normal skeletal pattern.

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.

The branch of orthodontics has had an interest in the cervical vertebrae wherein cervical spine is used as a reference structure for natural head position, so skeletal age was evaluated by studying variations in the cervical vertebral morphologies. Among all evaluations, very limited data is available wherein comparison between cervical vertebral body volumes between the different malocclusions has been done. This study aimed to compare the differences in the volumes of cervical vertebral bodies of C2, C3, and C4 between skeletal class I and class II malocclusions of both horizontal and vertical growth patterns. In class I the volume was significantly lesser as compared to class II. It was seen that there was statistically no significant difference in the volume between the horizontal and vertical growers. It can be concluded from this study that cervical vertebral body volume has no effect on growth pattern. However, variations in cervical vertebral body volume are seen with different malocclusions.
