The Endler S-R Inventory of General Trait Anxiousness was analysed employing Smallest Space Analysis and factor analysis. The Smallest Space Analysis yielded a two-dimensional lattice partitioning the space into regions corresponding to the situations and the response clusters. The situations were the ones specified in the inventory: Interpersonal general situation, social evaluation situation, ambiguous or novel situation, and physical danger situation. The evaluative and the ambiguous situations merged in the solution. The responses were segregated into regions defined as approach, confidence, distress, and physiological responses. A general partitioning of the responses on a positive-negative dimension was indicated. The factor-analytic results were similar with respect to situations but were not as informative with respect to responses. Further specification of facets is discussed.
