Abstract
A measure of hypnotically-induced anxiety was correlated with scores on Taylor''s Manifest Anxiety Scale and Barron''s Ego-Strength Scale. A positive relationship was elicited between degree of experienced anxiety and the Taylor scale; a negative relationship between anxiety and Barron''s scale. "These results suggest that the MAS is a valid indicator of clinical anxiety... [and] that the ... [Barron scale] is genuinely measuring ego-strength or some similar trait associated with psychopathological conditions.".Keywords
