Abstract
The effects of shock and ego-involving IQ-oriented instructions on the performance of high-anxious (HA) and low-anxious (LA) Ss on a difficult low-imagery verbal discrimination task were investigated. As predicted by Saltz’s differential disruption hypothesis, LA Ss made significantly more errors than HA Ss in the shock condition, and HA Ss made significantly more errors in the control condition. However, no significant difference in performance was found between HA and LA Ss in the ego-involving condition. The results were interpreted as generally supportive of Saltz’s view that HA and LA Ss are sensitive to different sources of stress.
