Standardized measures seem to indicate that the average level of anxiety has increased gradually over the past 50 years. (Twenge, 2000). In the 1950s , the average score on the Child Manifest Anxiety Scale was μ= 15.1. A sample of n = 16 of today's children produces a mean score of M = 23.3 with SS = 240.
