On the basis of their scores on Taylor's MAS, 8b college students of both sexes were classified as high-anxious or low-anxious Ss. Each S then practiced on the standard Mirror Tracing Task. On the basis of deductions from Hullian theory, it had been predicted that (a) high MAS scorers would perform more poorly in tracing than would low MAS scorers, and (b) the difference between the two anxiety groups would be most marked on the trial when Ss were required to change from nonpreferred hand to preferred hand. No significant differences were found between the two groups with respect either to total time or total errors. A multivariate test also revealed that the overall difference between the two groups was statistically non-significant. There was a slight tendency for the HA group to require more time and to make more errors throughout the period of practice and although this was more marked during the initial stage, the results do not warrant the acceptance of any of the hypotheses. Alternative explanations for the lack of group differences were offered.
