| Abstract: | The hypothesis that there are no differences on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale between volunteers and non-volunteers in a classroom setting was tested by requesting students in introductory classes in psychology and education to volunteer for a psychological experiment, then testing those who volunteered and those who did not. The results give no basis for rejecting the null hypothesis. It would appear that level of anxiety as measured by the MAS is not a factor in the act of volunteering for psychological experiments.
