Fifty-two VA domiciliary residents were given four sessions of tape-recorded relaxation training in small groups. The State-Trait Anxiety Scale was administered before the first and last training sessions. The experimental group's mean state anxiety decreased from Test I to Test II, but a control group's mean increased (p less than .025). Both groups decreased in trait anxiety over time (p less than .001). A significant effect within the experimental group was that 9 residents with disciplinary problems due to intoxication during the training period increased in mean state anxiety, while the remainder of the group decreased. Experimental Ss who initially desired many trait changes decreased mean trait anxiety more from Test I to Test II than did the rest of the experimental group (p less than .025).
52名退伍军人管理局疗养院的居民被分成小组，接受了4次录音放松训练。在第一次和最后一次训练课程之前，对他们进行了状态-特质焦虑量表测试。实验组的平均状态焦虑从测试I到测试II有所下降，但对照组的平均状态焦虑有所上升（p值小于0.025）。随着时间的推移，两组的特质焦虑都有所下降（p值小于0.001）。实验组内一个显著的影响是，在训练期间因醉酒出现纪律问题的9名居民平均状态焦虑增加，而该组的其他居民则有所下降。最初希望特质有很多改变的实验组受试者，从测试I到测试II，其平均特质焦虑比实验组的其他受试者下降得更多（p值小于0.025）。
