More Details: Within the framework of non-local time-dependent stellar convection theory, we study in detail the effect of turbulent anisotropy on stellar pulsation stability. The results show that anisotropy has no substantial influence on pulsation stability of g modes and low-order (radial order $n_\mathrm{r}<5$) p modes. The effect of turbulent anisotropy increases as the radial order increases. When turbulent anisotropy is neglected, most of high-order ($n_\mathrm{r}>5$) p modes of all low-temperature stars become unstable. Fortunately, within a wide range of the anisotropic parameter $c_3$, stellar pulsation stability is not sensitive to the specific value of $c_3$. Therefore it is safe to say that calibration errors of the convective parameter $c_3$ do not cause any uncertainty in the calculation of stellar pulsation stability.
