Correlations among general anxiety (A); School and College Achievement Test (SCAT); Sequential Test of Educational Progress (STEP); a creativity self-rating scale (C-R); and divergent thinking testa of originality (R), flexibility (A), and ideational fluency (O) were computed for 273 Ss at the seventh-and eighth-grade levels, and 2-factor analyses of variance for Sex X Anxiety were calculated for 4 criterion groups of 50 Ss each divided equally by sex and A as high or low. It was found that high-A Ss were lower than low-A Ss on SCAT and STEP, but the difference on divergent thinking Bcores was not significant. Positive correlations were found between C-R in males and their SCAT, STEP, and R scores and between SCAT and STEP of all Ss on the one hand and their R and A scores on the other.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
