| Popis: | This study investigated the correlations among compulsivity, as measured by the Breskin Rigidity Test, anxiety, as measured by the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, and gullibility, measured by Forer's technique. Anxiety scores of 44 undergraduate men and 54 women correlated .52 with gullibility scores, replicating previous findings. Compulsivity scores correlated −.23 with anxiety scores and were not related to gullibility scores ( r = −.15). These results were contrary to expectation, since previous research had suggested that compulsivity indexed by other tests should be positively related to both anxiety and gullibility. |
