When her friends ask her to go places or do things with them, she often declines their invitations. Ginny most likely would be characterized

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. Since the description is the same, I will skip it:

Ginny most likely would be characterized:

A. as high in trait anxiety.

B. as high in evaluation anxiety.

C. as high in anxiety due to cognitive dissonance.

D. as high in situational anxiety.

Answer:

Ginny most likely would be characterized

A. as high in trait anxiety.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the description given, Ginny has a constant feeling of anxiety. Her negative emotions - the belief that something bad is going to happen, and the fear that she will not be able to deal with whatever it is -, are always there. This is precisely what trait anxiety is about. It is a tendency an individual shows to experience and report emotions such as fear, anxiety and worry in several different situations with relative stability. Therefore, we can safely say Ginny would be characterized as high in trait anxiety.
