Summary:Subjects in graduate classes voluntarily completed the Manifest Anxiety Scale. A cluster analysis assessed the internal structure of the scale. Three clusters presented as the most parsimonious and meaningful solution given the data: Cluster I, a generalized anxiety cluster including 60% of the items; Cluster II, physiological concomitants of anxiety; and Cluster III, a worry-tension component. The solution is discussed in relation to prior work on both the scale and anxiety, in general.
