Abstract

Five hundred and sixty-two Further Education students, 544 Certificate of Education students and 168 B.Ed. students were tested with the Spielberger State-Trait Inventory. Mean differences between the sexes were all statistically significant beyond the 0.01 level—females scoring significantly higher than males for both State and Trait anxiety. Further Education and Certificate students scored significantly higher than B.Ed. students, suggesting to some extent that type of institution attended or course pursued is also associated with anxiety level. Test-retest coefficients of correlation were positive and significant with A-Trait test reliability being significantly and consistently higher than A-State test-retest reliability. Moderate positive coefficients of correlation, in general, were found between A-State and A-Trait scores.
