The Adjective Generation Technique: An Alternative to Adjective Check Lists

Abstract

A recently developed Adjective Generation Technique for evaluating favorability of self-description was introduced as an alternative to standardized adjective check lists. Preliminary estimates of test-retest reliability ( r = .74) and construct validity ( r = .53) for the technique were reported. The comparative utility of the procedure over that of the Gough Adjective Check List was discussed.
