This study examined the potential effects on anxiety levels of positive self-statements being used with both the first-person pronoun “I” and the second-person pronoun “You.” Participants included 124 undergraduate psychology students recruited from a university participation pool for research credit and from individual courses for extra credit. After being asked to recall a personally anxiety-producing situation from their past, participants retyped a positive self-statement, featuring either “I” or “You” wording, five times. Pre- and post-manipulation levels of state anxiety were measured. Results showed no significant main effects or interaction between time of pre- and post-anxiety levels and pronoun usage. These findings may suggest that self-statements may not have an effect on anxiety levels and the manipulation of pronouns may not effect potential benefits of using self-statements. The latter finding supports the basic findings of previous research that there are benefits of using all forms of pronouns within various situations.
