本研究测试的预测，焦虑，所产生的预期紧张的考试（状态焦虑），将与通货膨胀的主观风险的判断与自己有关的负面事件。在检查日期前1个月和1天两次评定愉快和不愉快事件的主观概率。随着考试的临近，预期焦虑的增加与考试失败的主观风险增加有关，而焦虑的更稳定的人格特质与所有自我提及的负面事件的感知风险有关，无论这些事件是否与考试有关。这些结果为焦虑的认知观点提供了普遍支持，即状态焦虑与个人威胁信息的可获得性之间存在关系，而特质焦虑与记忆中这种个人威胁信息的程度或范围有关。
This study tested the prediction that anxiety, arising from anticipation of a stressful examination (state anxiety), would be associated with an inflation of subjective risk in judgements of negative events related to oneself. The subjective probability of pleasant and unpleasant events was rated on two occasions, 1 month and 1 day before the examination date. Increases in anticipatory anxiety as the examination approached were associated with increased subjective risk of examination failure, while the more stable personality trait of anxiety was associated with perceived risk of all self-referred negative events whether or not they related to examinations. these results were taken as providing general support for a cognitive view of anxiety, in which a relationship exists between state anxiety and the accessibility of information relating to personal threat, while trait anxiety relates to the extent or range of such personally threatening information in memory.
