“…We included the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS; Taylor, 1953 ) in Studies I a and I c, the Beck Depression Inveqtory ( BDI; Beck, 1967) in Studies 1 b and I c, and a short version of the Repression-Sensitization Scale (R-S: Byrne, 1961 ) in Study lc. The TMAS is a truefalse questionnaire consisting of 50 items from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; Hathaway & McKinley, 1951) selected on the basis of face validity to measure manifest trait anxiety.…”

Self-concept clarity (SCC) references a structural aspect oftbe self-concept: the extent to which selfbeliefs are clearly and confidently defined, internally consistent, and stable. This article reports the SCC Scale and examines (a) its correlations with self-esteem (SE), the Big Five dimensions, and self-focused attention (Study l); (b) its criterion validity (Study 2); and (c) its cultural boundaries (Study 3). Low SCC was independently associated with high Neuroticism, low SE, low Conscientiousness, low Agreeableness, chronic self-analysis, low internal state awareness, and a ruminative form of self-focused attention. The SCC Scale predicted unique variance in 2 external criteria: the stability and consistency of self-descriptions. Consistent with theory on Eastern and Western selfconstruals, Japanese participants exhibited lower levels of SCC and lower correlations between SCC and SE than did Canadian participants. Within the last couple of decades, psychologists' view of the self-concept has undergone a dramatic transformation (Markus & Wurf, 1987). Early researchers treated the self-concept as a unitary, monolithic entity-a stable, generalized view of the self-and typically focused their research efforts on a single aspect of the self-concept, self-esteem. Contemporary researchers, in contrast, rely on a multifaceted, dynamic construal in which the self-concept is defined as a cognitive schema-an organized knowledge structure that contains traits, values, episodic and semantic memories about the self and controls the processing of self-relevant information (e.g.,

Objective-The present study examines how alexithymia, self-report of symptoms, and pulmonary function are related to each other among a sample of patients with asthma. The goal was to extend previous research showing that alexithymia may complicate treatment of asthma.Methods-Seventy-four participants with asthma completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), Asthma Symptom Checklist (ASC), Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS), and spirometry testing.Results-The "Difficulty identifying feelings" subscale (IDE) of the TAS was associated with increased report of emotional symptoms (panic-fear) as well as physical symptoms (fatigue) during the past week, but not pulmonary function on the day of testing. This relationship appeared to be influenced by trait anxiety. The "Difficulty communicating feelings" subscale (COM) was correlated with decreased pulmonary function, but not report of emotional or physical sensations experienced during the prior week. The "Externally oriented thinking" subscale (EOT) was not related to any of the dependent measures.Conclusion-These data suggest that alexithymia may complicate optimal management of asthma and this relationship is best studied by examining the subscales of the TAS separately.

“…La consistencia interna obtenida en distintos estudios es excelente (α = 0,94) y la fiabilidad test-retest a un mes fue 0,78 (Watson y Friend, 1969). En cuanto a la validez concurrente, el FNE correlacionó significativamente con Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale (r = 0,60) (Taylor, 1953) y la subescala The Social Approval de Jackson's Personality Research Form (r = 0,77) (Jackson, 1966) (Watson y Friend, 1969). Corcoran y Fischer (2000) también estudiaron la validez del FNE y vieron como correlacionaba significativamente con medidas de sintomatología ansiosa y varias modesto comparado con otras medidas psicológicas, tiene muchos ítems con contenido redundante.…”
