N2  - Examined the validity of the trait anxiety-perception (TAP) score, a composite predictor for state anxiety (A-State), in 26 Ss (aged 16-49 yrs) who were waiting to take a driving test. The TAP score was constructed from trait anxiety (A-Trait) and situation perception data derived from the Endler Multidimensional Anxiety Scales (EMAS) and a revised version of the EMAS (P. R. King and N. S. Endler; see record 1990-06457-001). TAP scores mathematically combined the Ss' A-Trait and situation perception profiles and adjusted these with a multiplier that reflected Ss' sensitivity to situational elements, in terms of A-State inducement. Prediction of A-State based on the TAP score was superior to those provided by the social evaluation, physical danger, ambiguous, and daily routines A-Traits.
