Summary
Rapee, Heimber & Dombeck (Nader Amir etc., 1996) (1990)found that, because of unbalanced phobia, patients of. On the other hand in group of control, 2×2×2 repeated ANOVA analysis show neither any significant difference, nor any significant simple main effect (Nader Amir etc., 1996).Their experiment offered a good base to test the anxiety level among social phobia patients , proving that social phobia patients were sensitive to words related to social characteristic, and easier to become anxiety than common people. Boris (2000) selected 120 university students to be subjects, using the Mean of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI, 1981) to measure TA In experiment, it got 4 kinds of cards, two are neutral and two others are threaten (had considered the length and frequency), which included one for physical threaten words (such as, war or death) and the other for self threaten words (like, failure, mistake). This experiment could not confirm the relationship among consciousness, unconsciousness interference and assessing anxiety, but merely to know a tendency existing between assessing anxiety and Stroop interference (Christianne, Jasper, Agnes & Floris, 2004)
