Abstract
SS WERE GIVEN THE TAYLOR MA SCALE AND THE MARLOWE-CROWNE SOCIAL DESIRABILTIY SCALE (M-C SD). HIGH-ANXIOUS SS WERE FOUND TO BE PRIMARILY NONDEFENSIVE (LOW M-C SD SCORES) COMPARED TO THE LOW-ANXIOUS SS, 1/2 OF WHOM WERE DEFENSIVE (HIGH M-C SD SCORES) AND 1/2 NONDEFENSIVE. A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE ON DIGIT SYMBOL PERFORMANCE FAVORING LOW-ANXIOUS SS WAS FOUND ONLY WHEN THE DEFENSIVE LOW-ANXIOUS SS WERE ELIMINATED FROM THE ANALYSIS. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT EQUIVOCAL FINDINGS IN PAST RESEARCH MAY HAVE RESULTED IN PART FROM THE FAILURE TO ELIMINATE THESE DEFENSIVE LOW-ANXIOUS SS, WHO APPEAR TO EXPERIENCE MANIFEST ANXIETY BUT REFUSE TO ADMIT IT.Preview Only.
