Abstract. Why do some people work best under pressure? In two studies, we examined whether and how people use anxiety to motivate themselves. As predicted, clarity of feelings moderated the relationship between trait anxiety and the tendency to use this emotion as a source of motivation (i.e., anxiety motivation). Furthermore, anxiety motivation mediated the relationship between trait anxiety and outcomes – including academic achievement (Study 1) as well as persistence and job satisfaction (Study 2). These findings suggest that individuals who are clear about their feelings are more likely to thrive on anxiety and eustress and possibly use these to achieve their goals and find satisfaction at work.

The aim of this study was to analyze athletes’ quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved 249 athletes between 15 and 35 of age, M = 21.22, SD = 5.12. The sample was composed of eight Olympic Games medalists, three European medalists, 67 international medalists, and 63 national medalists. The instruments used were: (1) COVID-19 Anxiety Scale, (2) Athlete Quality of Life Scale, (3) Impact of Pandemic on Athletes Questionnaire, and (4) International Personality Item Pool (IPIP Anxiety, Depression, and Vulnerability Scales). The results indicate significant differences in COVID-19 anxiety depending on the sport practiced, F (9239) = 3.81, p < 0.01, showing that there were significant differences between sports. The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic mediates the relationship between trait anxiety and the athletes’ quality of life. The percentage of mediation was 33.9%, and the indirect effect was −0.11, CI 95% (−0.18, −0.03), Z = −2.82, p < 0.01. Trait anxiety has an increasing effect on the intensity of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 0.23, CI 95% (.10, 0.35), Z = 3.56, p < 0.01, and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has a decreasing effect on quality of life, −0.47, CI 95% (−0.67, −0.27), Z = −4.62, p < 0.01. Gender and age did not moderate the relationship between the negative impact of COVID-19 and athletes’ quality of life. The results of the study highlighted the impact that social isolation and quarantine have on athletes’ affective well-being.

139 Italian undergraduates (61 men and 78 women) responded to the Italian version of the Christie's Mach IV scale and to the Italian version of the Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Positive correlations between Mach IV scores and both State Anxiety and Trait Anxiety scores were found for both sexes. The authors hypothesized that moderate anxiety may be associated with high Machiavellianism. Further implications of the findings were discussed.

Research indicates a relationship between trait worry and physical health, such that individuals with high levels of trait worry display physical health problems (e.g., upper respiratory infections, cardiological problems, immune system impairment). However, existing studies do not address whether three constructs that are theoretically and empirically related to worry – trait anxiety, anxiety sensitivity, and depression – might better account for the observed relationship between worry and physical health status. Participants completed measures of trait worry, trait anxiety, anxiety sensitivity, depression symptom severity, and health status. Results indicated that worry serves as a proxy risk factor for health status through the influence of trait anxiety and depressive symptoms, with both of these variables being related to mental health status, and only trait anxiety being related to physical health status. Anxiety sensitivity did not explain the relationship between trait worry and either type of health status. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.

The concept of nomophobia was formed with the abbreviation of “No Mobile Phone Phobia”. Nomophobia means that people experience anxiety and fear when they are deprived of their mobile phones. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between adolescents' nomophobia levels and trait anxiety, basic psychological needs and happiness. This study is a relational screening model which is one of the quantitative research methods. 561 adolescents (349 female and 212 male) consisted the study group. “Nomophobia Scale (NMP-Q)”, “Trait Anxiety Inventory”, “The Basic Psychological Need Scale” and “Short Form of the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire” were used to collect data in the study. Pearson correlation coefficientwas calculated to reveal the relationship between the variables and multiple linear regression analysis which is one of the predictive techniques, were used. According to the results of the analysis, there was significant relation between nomophobia and basic psychological needs satisfaction, trait anxiety, happiness.It was found that the predictor variables together accounted for 10% the variance. According to the significance tests of the regression coefficients, only traitanxiety was significant predictor of nomophobia. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet “No Mobile Phone Phobia” kelimelerinin kısaltmasıyla ortaya çıkan nomofobi kavramı kişilerin cep telefonlarından yoksun kaldıkları durumlarda kaygı ve korku yaşamaları anlamına gelmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı ergenlerin nomofobi düzeyleri ile sürekli kaygıları, temel psikolojik ihtiyaçları ve mutluluk düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Bu araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunu 349’u kız 212’si erkek olmak üzere toplamda 561 ergenoluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri “Nomofobi Yaygınlığı Ölçeği”, “Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği”, “Temel Psikolojik İhtiyaçlar Ölçeği”  ve “Oxford Mutluluk Ölçeği Kısa Formu” ile toplanmıştır.  Araştırmada değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla Pearson korelasyon katsayısı hesaplanmış ile yordayıcı tekniklerden çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre nomofobi ile sürekli kaygı, temel psikolojik ihtiyaçlar ve mutluluk düzeyleri arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu görülmüştür. Yapılan çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizine göre sürekli kaygı, temel psikolojik ihtiyaçlar ve mutluluk değişkenlerinin birlikte nomofobinin yaklaşık olarak %10’unu açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. Regresyon katsayılarının anlamlılık testlerine göre yalnızca sürekli kaygının nomofobiyi anlamlı şekilde yordadığı belirlenmiştir.

A 2 (trait anxiety) × 4 (color) factorial design was used to determine the effects of red, green, yellow, and blue on state anxiety as a function of high and low trait anxiety. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to assess both trait (A-Trait) and state (A-State) anxiety for the 10 students assigned to each of the eight treatment combinations. High A-Trait students were significantly more anxious while viewing blue, red, and green than were the low A-Trait students and blue produced significantly more state anxiety than did either yellow or green. These results are consistent with state-trait theory and indicate that the effects of color on state anxiety may be confounded with trait anxiety unless the levels of A-Trait are equivalent for each color condition. The role of cultural and individual differences in the relationship between color and emotion and implications for research are discussed.
