Questionnaire-assessed test anxiety and hostility were related to the verbal productions of male and female college students. Each S's task was to describe himself, and his mother and father. These descriptions were content analyzed for positive and negative evaluations of self and parents. Test anxiety was found to be related to the incidence of negative self-references, but not to negative references to parents. Hostility was found to be unrelated to selfreferences. Fewer positive references were emitted by high than low hostility scorers.
