	abstract = {Presents findings of an empirical study on incidental learning in which 48 subjects were presented with adjectives with different emotional content and then asked to judge whether the adjectives described their feelings and thoughts during exam situations. Subsequently the adjectives were to be reproduced. At the end of the experiment, the test anxiety inventory (TAI) by Hodapp, Laux and Spielberger was administered to measure worry and emotionality. The results of analysis of covariance show that persons with high scores on worry or emotionality judge negatively toned adjectives as more descriptive of themselves than persons low on worry or emotionality. High-worry subjects recall more adjectives and make more reproduction errors (intrusions) than persons with low-worry scores. These findings are discussed in the context of a semantic interpretation of test anxiety.},

	abstract = {Tested the hypothesis that Spielberger{\textquoteright}s anxiety scale is an indicator of personality-specific systems of rules stored in semantic memory. For this purpose, dependency relationships between anxiety and the usual criteria for analyzing semantic memory were experimentally measured. These criteria were: degree of intensity, typicality, the U-shaped relationship between intensity and decision time, and intrusions. In conjunction with the administration of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the 84 subjects were asked to describe themselves using 60 adjectives, by means of a nine-step scale. Decision time was measured simultaneously. Finally, the subjects had to name the adjectives they could still remember. The results broadly supported the hypothesis. High and low anxious people differed in the intensity of their attributions of adjectives according to the contents of the words (typicality effect) and in type of intrusions. There was a quadratic trend in the relationship between decision-speed and intensity of attribution. The results were taken to indicate that anxiety is manifested not only in a specified interaction with language, but that the specific relationship with language can also have characteristic systems of rules constituted in semantic memory, which are capable of representation in an anxiety scale.},

	abstract = {Investigates the influence of semantic structure on processing self-related information and its dependency on anxiety. 82 psychology students were divided into high and low anxiety groups. They had to judge and recall 48 adjectives from various categories (aggression, activity, happiness, anxiety) according to self- or word-related instructions. Judgment, decision time, and free recall performance were recorded. In general, memory performance improved with self-related instructions. High anxiety subjects were faster when anxiety and happiness were judged with reference to themselves. However, their memory performance tended to be poorer than that of low anxiety subjects. It was also found that high anxiety subjects reproduced a larger number of anxiety items that applied to themselves.},
