Abstract
The What I Think and Feel, a revised children's manifest anxiety scale, was administered to 660 children in grades 1 through 6 in the U.S., Japan, and Canada. Both cultural and grade differences were found on the Lie and Anxiety scales. Males did not differ significantly from females on either anxiety or social desirability. Canadian and American children were generally higher on the Lie score (social desirability) and children from the U.S. reported a higher level of anxiety than did children from the other two nations.Keywords
