Abstract:
This study explored how trait anxiety interacts with various demographic variables in influencing how potential nuclear power disaster is assessed by a random sample of 150 adults (77 women, 73 men) who live near a nuclear power plant. Expectation of a future nuclear power plant disaster was positively related to high trait-anxiety elevations in women who were childless.
