Title: THUMB-SUCKING AND MANIFEST ANXIETY: A NOTE.
Authors: Tryon, Ames F.
Source: Child Development. Dec1968, Vol. 39 Issue 4, p1159. 5p.
Subjects: Thumb sucking, Anxiety, Psychological stress, Children
Abstract: The popular notion that anxiety is associated with thumb-sucking was empirically tested. The Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS) was administered to a group of 52 thumb-suckers and 52 controls ranging in age from 7-14 years. Between-group comparisons yielded mean "A scale" scores of 19.0 and 18.8 for the thumb-sucking and control groups and mean "L scale" scores of 6.4 and 6.5, respectively. An additional comparison was made within the thumb-sticking group to determine whether the CMAS was useful for predicting the outcome of a habit management regime, and no significant differences were obtained. It was concluded that there is no relationship between, anxiety as measured by the CMAS and thumb-sucking. The exploratory findings gave me to questions for future consideration.
