Size Factors on the Bender-Gestalt Test and Their Relation to Trait Anxiety and Situationally Induced Anxiety.

Rao, Anthony V.; Potash, Herbert M.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v41 n6 p834-38 Nov 1985

Measures of trait anxiety and defensive style were found to be intercorrelated significantly and to interact significantly with anxiety condition. (Author/BL)
