This study was concerned with the relationship between investigative response and arousal level including change in arousal level. Data were from 18 Ss placed in both a task situation and an investigative situation. Ss were divided into two groups based on whether their SRLs increased or decreased during the investigative period when compared with the SRLs during the task period. It was found that the group whose members had shown an increased level (as measured by SRL) investigated significantly less during the investigation period and had significantly higher general test anxiety (as measured by the Test Anxiety Questionnaire) than the group whose members had shown a decrease in resistance level
