TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - The effects of stress on state and trait anxiety in emotionally disturbed, normal, and delinquent children JO - Journal of abnormal child psychology A1 - Bedell, J. R. A1 - Roitzsch, J. SP - 173 EP - 177 VL - 4 IS - 2 N2 - The effects of stress on trait and state anxiety of emotionally disturbed, normal, and delinquent children were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC). This scale measures both transitory feelings of apprehension and tension that vary over time as a function of situational stress (A-State) and individual differences in the disposition to experience such anxiety states (A-Trait). Results indicated that A-State increased as a function of stress, whereas A-Trait was relatively stable and impervious to the temporary effects of stress. Use of the STAIC with normal and deviant populations was supported.
