The R Scale and Acquiescent Tendencies on Scales Consisting of Items from the CPI, PRF, and EPI

Abstract

Previous studies involving the R scale of the MMPI as a measure of acquiescent tendencies were replicated with items from the California Psychological Inventory, the Personality Research Form AA, and Booklet II of the Edwards Personality Inventory. The results obtained support the interpretation of scores on the R scale as measuring acquiescent tendencies with respect to items with a non-pathological content.
