Administered the Taylor Manifest Anxiety scale and the Social Introversion scale from the MMPI to 16 male undergraduates. Ss were then instructed to approach an assistant under 4 different affective role-enactment conditions: neutral, fear, anger, and sorrow. Ss maintained significantly greater distance from an assistant under fear instructions than under the other 3 conditions, and also greater distance under sorrow than under anger instructions. There was significantly less eye contact and a tendency toward slower movement under sorrow instructions. The personality measures yielded no significant findings. Theoretical implications of the results are discussed in relation to previous research. (39 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
