Abstract
858 children from two different socioeconomic levels were compared on the Hebrew version of the Children’s Manifest auxiety Scale. Results were treated separately, according to anxiety and lie, by scores for different ages and for both sexes. Children from lower socioeconomic levels had significantly higher anxiety scores, and girls were higher than boys on both anxiety and lie scales. Findings were explained by the differences in child-rearing patterns in the socioeconomic levels, teachers’ values, and theconstruction of the test.
