Affirmed.

ROBERTS, J.


This case presents a claim for workers' compensation based on an alleged emotional trauma resulting from a foreman's reprimand. We do not reach the question of compensability of emotional trauma thus incurred, since the evidence presented at the hearing does not support a finding that the incident exacerbated claimant's preexisting emotional instability.

Affirmed.
