Student submariners in the South African Navy often report increased anxiety when confronted with the complicated nature of the submarine escape equipment and procedures. It was hypothesized that training should reduce this anxiety. This report describes part of the training process of the South African Navy, as well as a short investigation of the effect of training on anxiety. The investigation focused on state and trait anxiety, as well as overt and covert anxiety. Student submariners in the South African Navy were evaluated with the IPAT Anxiety Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before their submarine escape training. On the completion of their training, these instruments were again administered. Results suggested a decrease in overt and covert anxiety as well as trait anxiety. Although the first two results can be attributed to the effect of training, the change in subjects' trait anxiety remains unexplained.
南非海军的潜艇学员在面对潜艇逃生设备和程序的复杂性时，常常报告焦虑情绪增加。据推测，训练应能减轻这种焦虑。本报告描述了南非海军训练过程的一部分，以及对训练对焦虑影响的简短调查。该调查聚焦于状态焦虑和特质焦虑，以及外显焦虑和内隐焦虑。南非海军的潜艇学员在潜艇逃生训练前，使用IPAT焦虑量表和状态-特质焦虑量表进行了评估。训练结束后，再次使用这些工具进行了评估。结果显示，外显焦虑、内隐焦虑以及特质焦虑均有所降低。尽管前两个结果可归因于训练的效果，但受试者特质焦虑的变化仍无法解释。
