Comments

In 1955, Dr. Alvin W. Landfleld, then at Purdue University, formally presented a hypothesis concerning threat and the factor of self-uncertainty. To date, this new hypothesis has been tested only upon university students, and no investigation has been undertaken to test the hypothesis in relation to other age groups.
