- Abstract
To ascertain more rigorously the role of test anxiety, as measured by the Test Anxiety Scale for children, the Holtzman Inkblot Technique was administered to 20 high- and 20 low-anxiety children matched for grade, sex, and 19 Blind clinical analyses resulted in significant discriminations between the two groups. The 40 protocols then were scored for 23 inkblot variables. Analysis of the scores indicated significant differences for five of the variables--form appropriateness, movement, anxiety, barrier, and affect arousal When corrected for rejections, three of the variables--movement, barrier, and affect arousal--remained significant Results are compared with results of previous studies, and implications are discussed.
