SITUATIONAL FACTORS AS DETERMINANTS IN THE INTENSITY OF THE ANXIOUS RESPONSE
Abstract
Sarason and a group of collaborators at Yale University (Sarason et al., 1960) present two major critical observations regarding the relative in- adequacy of methods currently being used to study anxiety. Their first objection is that it is almost impossible to integrate results obtained from the majority of studies investigating anxiety because most research is based upon vague or ambiguous theoretical grounds. Their second objection is that the operational definition of the construct varies from study to study since different measures of general anxiety are used which vary in terms of item content, number of items and method of responding. For these reasons, points out the Yale group, many studies investigating anxiety have yielded confusing and sometimes contradictory results.
