This document contains three papers describing theoretical approaches and empirical findings concerning the role of anxiety in self-actualization. "Opposing Views of Anxiety and Self-Actualization" by Paul F. Zelhart describes theories of self-actualization that take opposite views of the role of anxiety in psychological development (Maslow, 1968 versus Dabrowski, 1972). "Assessing Anxiety and Self-Actualization" by Robert P. Markley describes studies showing the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) to be biased in favor of the Maslowian view of self-actualization and calls into question prior research using the POI to test opposing views of anxiety and self-actualization. The final paper, "Self-Actualization of the Adaptor and Innovator" by J. Morris Beene, Jr., presents recent results using the Kirton Adaptation/Innovation Inventory and a modified version of the POI which show anxiety to be a positive correlate of adaption and innovation.
