Abstract
Tests of general and test anxiety were administered with a self-acceptance (SA)-acceptance of others (AO) questionnaire to 92 Ss to test the prediction that anxiety increased the usual SA-AO correlation. Results indicate that (a) anxiety is significantly associated with both lowered self-acceptance and lowered acceptance of others, (b) anxiety disrupts the SA-AO relationship by lowering self-acceptance at a greater rate than acceptance of others, (c) low anxiety permits the usual SA-AO correlation to exist. Conclusions were that (a) learning theory from which the prediction was derived is inadequate in self-theory areas of personality, (b) anxiety has a disruptive, yet systematic influence on the self-acceptance-acceptance of others relationship.
