Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between state and trait anxiety and selected behaviors related to tasks of the church in a population of Southern Baptists. State and trait anxiety were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The selected behaviors were related to five tasks of the church: discipleship, worship, ministry, evangelism, and fellowship. Analysis of the relationship between levels of state and trait anxiety and participation in the behaviors related to the tasks was conducted. Pearson correlations indicated a significant negative relationship between state and trait anxiety and each task score. A stepwise multiple regression indicated that a model of evangelism and worship predicted 17% of variance in state anxiety. A stepwise multiple regression indicated that a model of evangelism and fellowship predicted 23% of variance in trait anxiety.
