Scores from three different anxiety scales were obtained from a self-rating personality questionnaire given to male college students. Each scale was studied in relation to a behavioral measure of persuasibility obtained by observing the opinion changes shown by 53 Ss after each was exposed to a series of five persuasive communications. The results give little support to the hypothesis that persons with a high degree of neurotic anxiety are predisposed to be relatively resistant to persuasive communications. The hypothesis that persons with relatively strong feelings of personal inadequacy are predisposed to be relatively highly influenced by persuasive communications is supported at about the .10 level of significance.
