Manifest Anxiety

40 female college students were videotaped in an interview during which they were questioned about sexual attitudes. Independent pairs of judges rated subjects using these videotapes. A rotated factor analysis performed on 18 non-verbal ratings, a finger-sweat index, the subject's subjective rating of own anxiety, and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale yielded five factors: level of excitement, activity level, degree of compulsiveness, style of budgeting time in an anxiety-provoking situation, and directness of orientation.

40 female college students were videotaped in an interview during which they were questioned about sexual attitudes. Independent pairs of judges rated Ss using these videotapes. Pearson product-moment correlations among 12 nonverbal ratings, a finger sweat index, and Ss' subjective evaluation of anxiety yielded low relationships among S's subjective rating, the number of times S touched her head, articulation errors, and the other variables; high correlations among finger sweat index, rater's global rating, immediacy, tone, postural relaxation, speech errors, filled pauses, editorial errors, and eye contact; and moderate correlations among rate of speech, posture shifts, etc.

Introduction: Interpersonal context is believed to represent a powerful factor that often fosters and sustains eating disturbances in females. The present study focused on the development of a measure tapping into positive interpersonal expectancies predicated on being thin believed to be positively involved in eating disorders in females, namely, the Interpersonal Outcome Expectancies for Thinness (IOET). Method: In Study 1, a total of 361 U.S. female college students completed the IOET for factor analysis. In Study 2, to assess for construct validity, an independent sample of 184 U.S. female college students completed a test battery including the IOET and measures of eating attitudes and disturbances, positive and negative affectivity, and general optimism. Results: In Study 1, results from an exploratory factor analysis indicated a one-factor solution for the IOET accounting for 76.70% of the total variance. In Study 2, the IOET was found to possess good test-retest reliability (6-week) in a subset sample of U.S. female participants. Moreover, in support for construct validity, we found IOET scores were positively associated with scores on measures of eating disturbances (e.g., bulimic symptoms) and negative affectivity. Additionally, IOET scores were negatively associated with scores on a measure of general optimism. Finally, in support of utility, the IOET was found to add incremental validity to the prediction of eating disturbances, even after accounting for general optimism and affectivity. Discussion: The present findings provide promising evidence for the validity, reliability, and utility of the IOET as a measure of a maladaptive cognitive schema associated with eating disorders in females. Implications for the theory and clinical assessments were discussed.

Affective Orientation

Based on the responses of 118 male and 79 female college students, a factor analysis of the 40 sex-typed items from the Bem Sex-role Inventory and sex of respondent yielded four factors which were almost identical to those reported by Waters, Waters, and Pincus (1977). One of the factors essentially represented the gender of the respondent. A second factor representing an expressive, affective orientation was defined by feminine sex-typed items. The other two factors were primarily defined by masculine sex-typed items. One stressed independence, self-sufficiency, and individuality while the other stressed leadership, aggressiveness, and forcefulness. These latter factors were interpreted in terms of an “agentic” orientation (Bakan, 1966) and an “instrumental” orientation (Parsons & Bales, 1955).

Consistent Manner

Relationships among 6 measures of temporal perspective and 9 personality variables were examined separately for male and female college students, and a factor analysis of scores was carried out. Scores (males: ns = 49 to 54; females: ns = 81 to 121) on temporal perspective instruments were significantly related to personality variables, although not in any consistent manner. The factor analysis showed different measures of temporal perspective to share little common meaning. The presumed unitary nature of the concept is challenged.

Manifest Anxiety

Female college students were selected on the basis of their scores on the Manifest Anxiety Scale. The subjects worked either alone or in pairs on a multiple-solution anagrams task. The experiment had a 2 × 2 × 2 design, with group type (nominal versus real), manifest anxiety (low versus high), and induced stress (low versus high) as the three variables. The results indicated that increased anxiety and stress were relatively more detrimental to the performance of real groups as compared with nominal groups.

Manifest Anxiety

50 male and 50 female college students took the Manifest Anxiety Scale, the Stanford-Gough Rigidity Scale and reproduced 18 incomplete, tachistoscopically presented, designs. Significant correlations between rigidity and closure, rigidity and figure elaborations, MAS scores and closure, and closure and elaborations for both sexes were found. Results indicate significant personality-perception interactions important to development of perceptual and personality theory.
