Abstract
Two University of Alberta samples and two high school samples were administered two measures of flexibility (Associations IV and Object Naming). Two measures of anxiety and convergent thinking data were obtained for three of the samples. The Alberta samples tended to score lower on Associations IV than an Illinois sample. Split-half reliability of the Associations IV task yielded Spearman-Brown correlations ranging from .60 to .75. The Alberta sample tended to score higher on the Object Naming task by comparison with the Illinois sample. The split-half reliability of Object Naming, however, indicates a questionable relationship between parts (Spearman-Brown Formula rs range from .15 to .57). Anxiety tended to facilitate performance among older Ss and hinder performance among the younger Ss. The two flexibility measures correlated more strongly with measures of convergent thinking than with each other.
