66 students from a midwest junior college participated in an investigation of the effects of trait and state anxiety on accuracy in interpreting nonverbal communication. The students were asked in normal and stress-induced settings to decode facial emotions from a series of slides depicting 6 categories of facial expressions. Analysis indicated that low trait-anxious subjects were more accurate in interpreting nonverbal facial expressions in stressful situations, whereas high trait-anxious subjects were superior in nonstressful situations but showed a significant deterioration in accuracy when subjected to situational stress.
来自中西部一所专科学校的66名学生参与了一项关于特质焦虑和状态焦虑对非言语交流解读准确性影响的调查。这些学生被要求在正常和应激诱导的情境下，从一系列描绘6种面部表情类别的幻灯片中解读面部情绪。分析表明，低特质焦虑的受试者在应激情境下解读非言语面部表情更准确，而高特质焦虑的受试者在非应激情境下表现出色，但在面临情境压力时准确性显著下降。
