Abstract: The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) is based on state-trait conceptualization of anxiety as consisting of two separate concepts, state anxiety ( A-State) and trait anxiety (A-Trait) . State anxiety is considered a transitory emotional state that is characterized by consciously perceived feelings of tension and apprehension. Trait anxiety refers to relatively stable individual differences in anxiery proneness. This study assessed the reliability of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory administered to 48 male and 7 6 female students in three sections of an undergraduate educational psychology course before and after a previously announced classroom examination over both lectures and textbook.
