24 male and 26 female students in introductory psychology completed questionnaires assessing six dimensions of anxiety: planning, doing a library search, administration of a test or instrument, doing statistical analysis, writing out research results, and presenting the results to an advisor or professor. Six applications of Cole and Oetting's Concept-specific Anxiety Scale were utilized to examine the dimensions of trainee-researchers' anxiety and scores on six subscales were analyzed. Identifiable trainee-researchers' anxiety was found, and scores on the Anxiety About Research Scale discriminated among the various dimensions. Specifically, anxiety about statistics was a significant area of anxiety for men and women, with women indicating more anxiety than men. Presentation of results to an advisor or professor produced identifiable anxiety, as did administration of a test. Implications are discussed.
