Abstract
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory asserts that state anxiety varies with situational stress and that trait anxiety is related to relatively stable individual differences in proneness to anxiety. This study investigated test-retest reliabilities related to an anxiety-provoking social analogue involving a female confederate. The results, obtained from the perspective of a nonacademic anxiety situation, supported the state and trait concepts.
