THE REPRESSION-SENSITIZATION SCALE: II. CONCURRENT AND CONSTRUCT VALIDITY,
Abstract
A series of studies were undertaken in order to begin the establishment of construct validity for the Repression-Sensitization Scale. It was found that the R-S Scale is negatively correlated with Ullmann's Facilitation-Inhibition Scale; positively correlated with Worchel's Self Activity Inventory; negatively correlated with the California F Scale; positively related to the expression of sexual responses on the TAT for male Ss only and unrelated to the expression of aggression and emotionality for either sex; positively correlated with deviant response bias on an Adjective Check List; and unrelated to measures of intellectual ability. Thus, with minor exceptions the findings confirmed the general hypothesis that the R-S Scale is a measure of defensive behavior.
