The present study aims at understanding the influence of one of the personality traits i.e. hostility on self-evaluation made in terms of two types of anxiety-trait and state anxiety. One hundred high hostile (HH) and one hundred low hostile (LH) University students were selected on the basis of the scores on Saxena Hostility Scale. Spielberger, Sharma, and Singh's (1972) state-trait anxiety scales were administered on the two extreme groups. Significant difference in trait and state anxiety was obtained for the high and low groups. Results are discussed in terms of trait-trait and trait-state interaction and a high hostility high anxiety (both trait and state) relationship is suggested by the study.
