The work of such psychologists as Kelly, McReynolds, Epstein, and Lazarus suggested the need for a measure of cognitive anxiety and provided a definition of that construct. A method of content analysis of verbal samples was devised and found to have adequate interjudge reliability. Normative data for five groups of subjects were provided. The validity of the measure as representative of a reaction to being unable to anticipate and integrate experience meaningfully was demonstrated in (a) the higher scores of groups of subjects who were currently coping with new experiences than those who were not, (b) the significant correlation of its scores with a state rather than trait anxiety measures, (c) the variability of its scores over time as observed in a generalizeability study, and (d) the higher scores of subjects when they were dealing with experiences for which meaningful anticipation was relatively difficult.
凯利、麦克雷诺兹、爱泼斯坦和拉扎勒斯等心理学家的研究表明，需要对认知焦虑进行测量，并给出了该概念的定义。他们设计了一种对言语样本进行内容分析的方法，并发现该方法具有足够的评判者间信度。还提供了五组受试者的常模数据。该测量方法作为对无法有意义地预期和整合经验的一种反应的代表性的有效性，在以下方面得到了证明：（a）当前正在应对新经验的受试者组的得分高于未应对新经验的受试者组；（b）其得分与状态焦虑而非特质焦虑测量值之间存在显著相关性；（c）在一项概化性研究中观察到其得分随时间的变化；（d）受试者在处理相对难以进行有意义预期的经验时得分较高。
