Some personality correlates of stimulus generalization under stress.

Abstract

"The amount of stimulus generalization under experimentally induced anxiety was determined in an hysteric and a psychasthenic group of Ss . . …" The hysteric group of Ss showed significantly more stimulus generalization under both experimental conditions used (avoidance and nonavoidance) and for both the hysteric and psychasthenic groups, the avoidance condition resulted in significantly more generalization. 18 references.
