The Cattell and Scheier IPAT Anxiety (Self Analysis) Questionnaire and the Corsini SAQS Chicago Q Sort were administered to 146 college women. Ss were divided into "high" and "low" anxiety groups on the basis of the IPAT anxiety scores. Those women with a high degree of anxiety were found to have a significantly greater discrepancy between their perceived self and ideal self concepts than did those women who had low levels of anxiety.
