Quizplus · Accepted Answer

State anxiety refers to variations in anxiety levels depending on the situation or context, as opposed to trait anxiety which is a more stable tendency towards anxiety across situations. Personal anxiety is not a recognized term, and evolutionary anxiety does not refer to variations in types of situations but rather the adaptive function of anxiety across species and throughout human history.
