Cross-cultural anxiety research has generally used translated forms of inventories such as Taylor's M.A.S. and Spielberger's S.T.A.I., checking only for semantic equivalence and ignoring the problems of item content and typical response modes. In order to clarify this approach, the 50 item M.A.S. was administered to groups of South African Europeans and South African Indians, both of which were varied on an educational dimension. Results suggest that the two groups vary in response, but that this variation decreases with educational level.
